Increases in irrigation and ethanol refining could deplete aquifers (NRC 2011).Regarding non-GHG environmental impacts, research suggests that production of biofuel feedstocks, particularly food crops like corn and soy, could increase water pollution from nutrients, pesticides, and sediment (NRC 2011).
