Abstract:Aquifer depletion due to extensive and intensive irrigation in the High Plains has threatened the environmental sustainability of the region. The change of crop evapotranspiration (ET), the major form of agriculture water consumption, presents a critical signature of hydrologic cycle change. This study evaluates the relative contributions of climate and groundwater‐fed irrigation to ET temporal and spatial pattern change over the High Plains Aquifer, one of the most severely depleted aquifers in the US.
