How to Rescue a Sinking Water Table

The video discusses the global issue of aquifer depletion due to overuse and changing rainfall patterns. It explains the three main types of aquifers: perched, unconfined, and confined, highlighting the challenges of recharging confined aquifers with fossil water. The video focuses on methods to recharge perched and unconfined aquifers through watershed restoration techniques, such as planting trees and creating ponds. It also addresses urban and agricultural solutions to prevent over-extraction and promote sustainable water use.
