But now, more groundwater is being used than is naturally recharged, leading to a water crisis that is forcing some states to take policy action \u2014 including charging for water use.<\/p>\n<p>Woerman and co-authors Fiona Burlig, assistant professor at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, and Louis Preonas, assistant professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, collaborated on a study that looked at how farmers responded when the water they\u2019d been using for free (other than the cost of pumping) cost money. The study found that farmers meaningfully reduce groundwater use when prices rise. What\u2019s more, the study found that farmers achieve these cuts in part by reducing their fruit and nut crop acreage by about a quarter, increasing their land left with no crop at all by 50% and switching to annual crops that require less water.<\/p>\n<p>California farmers produce 18% of total U.S. crop value, according to the study, and rely heavily on groundwater for irrigation. Notably, the state recently instituted new groundwater regulations: the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. The act is designed to achieve state-wide groundwater sustainability by 2042, which will require reducing groundwater pumping by 19% on average. Local implementing agencies have discretion and may achieve these reductions through various policy mechanisms, including taxes and fees, pumping restrictions or conservation incentives. More than half are choosing some form of a price on groundwater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGroundwater pricing can achieve California\u2019s new water sustainability targets,\u201d Woerman said. \u201cMeeting these targets will likely involve a shift away from the fruit and nut crops we all enjoy from the state today, illustrating the challenges countries around the world will face in balancing the need for water conservation and food supplies in a world impacted by climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study found that over short time horizons, higher groundwater pumping costs lead farmers to change how they irrigate their crops, but not what they grow, because it would be costly to switch away from their perennial crops. But when faced with permanent increases in the cost of groundwater \u2014 as is expected under the California policy \u2014 farmers do change what and how much they plant, in turn cutting their water use.<\/p>\n<p>For every 10% increase in groundwater pumping costs, farmers reduce their land in fruit and nut perennial crops, which require a lot of water, by 1.4%. Farmers also increase the land they don\u2019t plant on by 0.72%. This translates into an overall reduction in groundwater pumping of 3.6%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWater does have value, and we learn that lesson when there is less of it to go around \u2014 but it shouldn\u2019t get to the point where some are starved for water,\u201d Burlig said. \u201cThat\u2019s why policies that put a price on groundwater are so important. Our study shows that they lead farmers to treat water as a commodity that should be conserved, changing how or what farmers grow in a way that is more suitable to the land conditions and natural resources that we all have to share \u2014 rather than using up natural resources for free to make the greatest profit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In measuring how cropland would change as policy measures impose a price on groundwater, the researchers found that meeting California\u2019s goals of reducing groundwater pumping by 19% would require a groundwater pumping tax of about 60%. Such a stringent tax would cause nearly 9% of cropland to be switched to alternate uses that require less water \u2014 including a 24% decline in fruit and nut perennials and a 50% increase in land not used for growing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile farmers don\u2019t change crops in response to short-lived price changes, due mostly to the nature of farming, they do start changing what they grow \u2014 and whether they grow at all \u2014 when they are charged permanent fees,\u201d Preonas said. \u201cThis underscores the need for research like ours that evaluates the long-term impacts of policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9c3e82c
