Groundwater depletion speeding up as climate dries
the Gnangara aquifer system that sits under the city is refilling 70 per cent slower than it did half a century ago, a team of researchers has discovered, sparking grave concerns for its sustainability.
The study, published in the Journal of Hydrology earlier in March, found winters have become shorter since the 1960s, with fewer and weaker storms, dramatically reducing the system's refill rate
