In one of the final reports of this #PCAST, we have released a report on strengthening groundwater resilience in the US. Groundwater is an important resource for agriculture, drinking water, and industry, but many aquifers are being depleted faster than their natural recharge. Our knowledge of the precise state of these aquifers is quite incomplete. While the management of groundwater resources is primarily the responsibility of state, local, and tribal governments, we have some recommendations for ways in which the federal government can assist, in particular in creating a centralized effort to collect both federal and non-federal data, models, analysis and research on groundwater resources, and to support research on more sustainable uses of these resources. The press release is at https://www.whitehouse.gov/pcast/briefing-room/2024/12/14/pcast-releases-report-on-strengthening-americas-groundwater-resilience/ and the report can be found at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/PCAST-Report-on-GW_14DEC2024_Final-1.pdf

@tao I’m still reading, I had to pause to tell you… thank you and the other members for caring. It makes this time feel less lonesome, I fell in love with gravitational science (double major: computer science and physics), I’m prior air force; not the traditional path.. much of my twenties was shaped by NATO, whom I deeply care for and hope to go back to, but as PhD.
