What role does groundwater play in social-ecological regime shifts?

Groundwater is among the least studied aspects of social-ecological systems. This is partly because it is a slow variable in these systems, partly because it is invisible beneath our feet, and partly because groundwater researchers only make up a small contingent of the social-ecological systems community.
