Modern groundwater reaches deeper depths in heavily pumped aquifer systems
The widespread and increasing trend to access fossil groundwater is manifested by the increasing trend of taping fossil groundwater over time across U.S. aquifers. This is critical because this helps to understand fossil groundwater quantity and quality-related management issue and help to sustain the current and future water demand.

U.S. Aquifer Database (HydroShare)
The database contains 440 polygons, each representing one study area with both (1) an aquifer system title and (2) a broader aquifer system title. The story map for this aquifer database can be found via US Aquifer Database. The resource can be downloaded via HydroShare.
