Great to see my groundwater work with @lpreonas and too-cool-for-tweets Matt Woerman in the @latimes! Bringing groundwater into sustainability in California will be a big lift; we find prices are an effective tool for curbing consumption. Full paper here:

A landmark government report has called for national mobilization to curb groundwater depletion. Research co-authored by EPIC scholar @fburlig finds that a tax or fee on water use could help achieve necessary reductions in pumping. More via @latimes:
