Over a third of groundwater in USA public-supply aquifers is Anthropocene-age and susceptible to surface contamination
The distribution of groundwater age is useful for evaluating the susceptibility and sustainability of groundwater resources. Here, we compute the aquifer-scale cumulative distribution function to characterize the age distribution for 21 Principal Aquifers that account for ~80% of public-supply pumpi...
