Beijing, China, water tables are declining at the rate of between 1 and 4.5 meters per year. Groundwater in the United States is being withdrawn at four times its replacement rate, and in some locations, like the Ogallala Aquifer of the Great Plains stretching from Nebraska to Texas, pumping is so great that the overdraft is 130 percent to 160 percent above replacement (Miller, 1998: 404-405; Pimentel, 1992b: 219).
