" ... Aquifers are extremely delicate; once tapped, they can take more than 6,000 years to replenish. And while aquifers account for somewhere between 25% to 40% of the world’s drinking water, according to The New York Times’ article, about 70% of the water withdrawn is used for agriculture. In 2015, NASA published a comprehensive study of global groundwater reserves. Jay Famiglietti, the senior water scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and his team discovered that of the planet’s 37 major aquifer systems, they discovered 21 were on the verge of collapse. ...

" ... BGN: Since we started the company, our mission has been to be one of the tequila producers shaping the industry for the future through innovation and modern production. We produce in small batches of no more than 500 cases at a time, allowing us to deliver meticulous attention to detail in each batch. For each batch, we source pure, natural spring water in natural underground aquifers to harmonize with our tequila. We employ a modern, sustainable method of tequila production that is recognized by the Tequila Regulatory Council as the most sustainable method in the industry, using less water, less energy and producing less waste than any other method. Our juice is extracted through a gentle extraction process using steam and water—then cooked, fermented in closed tanks and distilled, to release the gentle, sweet notes of agave. We also recycle as much as possible to reduce our footprint even more. In fact, 50% of the used agave fibers are recycled to use as fuel for the boiler, or to be returned to the fields as fertilizer. ... "
" ... California's drought is never ending. And while this past winter's rainfall has been plentiful, most of that flows back into the ocean. Even if the aquifers can be momentarily refilled, it still does not obviate the need for the state to diversify its water selection. Desalination is therefore a tool at its disposal, to be used in conjunction with water re-use and conservation. ... "
" ... The French national weather service said the heat and low rainfall have contributed to a remarkable drying of the surface soils. The impact on the continent’s agriculture will prove costly as ongoing heatwaves reinforce drought conditions that began to be established last month and the longer the high temperatures and dry conditions persist, so the deep aquifers will remain in need of being replenished. In turn that can create tinder-dry conditions for wildfires to break out. Northern Spain, Southern France and all of Italy and Greece are at an elevated risk of sudden, spontaneous blazes where rainfall in June and July this year has been booked at barely 60% of normal precipitation. ...

" ... “In many regions, the water supply is shrinking because of drought and non-sustainable pumping aquifers,” says the lab’s study. “Drought impacts in the West reduce the amount of available water for existing and planned thermal power production, urban and agricultural use, and hydropower.” Greater use of wind energy, it adds, could ease the burdens create by those fuel sources that are water-dependent. ...
