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: fionaburlig.com/s/20241112_B…

Research co-authored by EPIC scholar @fburlig finds that a tax or fee on water use could help achieve necessary reductions in pumping.
