Some communities are starting to consider making farmers pay for groundwater to help conserve resources.

The groundwater supply across the country is depleting at an alarming rate.

A new study found that groundwater supplies around the world are depleting faster than they were 40 years ago.

The Pajaro Valley is a 10-mile-long stretch of rich agricultural soil along the coast of Monterey Bay, and home to the strawberry capital of the world, Watsonville, California.
