Michaela’s Section: I will add three paragraphs total, two paragraphs will add to the socio-economic section, and the other will add to the possible solutions section.

Socio-economic topic sentence: Overdrafting has socio-economic impacts due to cost inequities as the water table drops. I will use the source “Socio-economic Implications of Depleting Groundwater Resource in Punjab: A Comparative Analysis of Different Irrigation Systems” by Anindita Sarkar to provide information for this section. I will add information about how the dropping water table causes an increase in costs of installing new wells, in deepening already existing wells, and in maintaining already existing wells. Overdrafting has socio-economic impacts has socio-economic impacts due to prior appropriation laws. I will use the same source as above by Anindita Sarkar. The information for this section is found on page 62.

Possible solutions topic sentence: Possible solutions to overdrafting include implementing conservation techniques to decrease overdrafting. I will use the source “Strategies to Enhance Water, Food, and Nutrition Security,” by Ertharin Cousin, A.G. Kawamura, and Mark W. Rosegrant to add information to this section. This source provides ideas such as incentivizing efficient water use, improving governance, and adapting agriculture to crops that use less water. In addition, I will use information from the California Water Boards source to share some conservation techniques that are being implemented.

Audrey's Section: I will add 2 paragraphs to this section overhauling the previously existing bulleted list.

· In the environmental impacts section, I will expand on the already existing list of environmental impacts of overdrafting by adding sources and expanding on the ideas. The first paragraph will consist of the geological impacts caused by overdrafting. The second paragraph will focus on the ways the living environent is effected; like how plants, animals, and humans are directly impacted by groundwater overdrafting. I will rewrite and expand the previously existing list with these paragraphs and make sure to add proper references and citations in order to verify and cement the environmental impacts of groundwater overdrafting.
