Global Projects for Water Conservation

On almost every continent, degraded land and compacted soil is preventing local water tables from natural replenishment. Much of the rain that falls will quickly leave the system and head back out to sea. In some places, the ground is dry and caked within hours after a much-needed rainfall. See what people are doing to keep water in the system, replenish their local aquifers, and combat the growing dangers of drought and wildfires.
