Abstract

Since the advent of the Second Industrial Revolution, the accelerated development of science, technology, and industry has precipitated an unprecedented rate of resource consumption, particularly of Earth's natural reserves. This industrial activity has significantly contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, predominantly carbon dioxide, thereby exacerbating global warming. The repercussions of these environmental changes are profound, affecting ecosystems and various natural resources, with water resources being notably impacted. This study focuses on the water crisis in California, highlighting the dual challenges of pollution and excessive water resource consumption. By examining the past two decades, this paper analyzed the interplay between groundwater depletion, climate change, and the increasing aridity of California's landscapes. This analysis is crucial for the long-term management of water resources, offering data and insights to address current water challenges, ensure future water sustainability, and inform the development of effective policies and strategies.
