Farmers have long used aquifers as a source of groundwater for irrigation, but when water is conserved, they have to dig even deeper into the Earth to extract the water they need. Which argument do you believe that farmers will face using this process?

Argument 2: This is an affordable process and it can have a huge impact on the agriculture industry.
Argument 3: Groundwater is a valuable resource in the United States only and farmers will not have a problem with needing water for their crops.
Argument 4: Groundwater is a valuable resource in the United States and throughout the world, but farmers have an unlimited supply.
Argument 1: This is a costly process and it can have a huge impact on the agriculture industry.
