Are aquifers running dry? - Science en questions

We tend to think that water will flow from our taps forever. But between growing demand and the impact of climate change, ensuring the availability and quality of water is a real challenge! Géraldine Picot and Marie Pettenati, hydrogeologists at BRGM, spoke on this topic in the Science en questions programme on L'Esprit Sorcier TV.
