What is the South American Guarani Aquifer System?
An extremely large underground aquifer (supply of groundwater). It is estimated to be able to provide drinking water for the earth for at least 200 years, and some estimates are much higher (1600 years). Because some people predict water shortages in the near future, the management of the aquifer, and others like it, is a concern.
