      abstract = {Almost two-thirds of all irrigated U.S. agricultural  acreage relied on groundwater as a primary or secondary  source of water in 2018, according to data from USDA’s  National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The shared  nature of many groundwater resources means pumping by one  irrigator affects water availability for nearby irrigators.  That connectivity led to the creation of groundwater  management districts, natural resource districts,  groundwater sustainability agencies, and other groundwater  management entities. These organizations play a critical  role in determining the future of groundwater-based  irrigated agriculture, but national data about their  functions has only recently become available.},
