Groundwater Depletion: A Global Challenge for Intergenerational EquityInterpretation 78 (1): 7-18. 2024.The continuing depletion of the world’s aquifers has given rise to a profound intergenerational inequity, as prospects for future generations have been diminished through the actions of the current and earlier ones.
