Aquifer recharge is largely being done where aquifers have been depleted. As aquifers get depleted, water use goes down. If you recharge them, water use goes back up. The problem is using too much water, and use tends to only be modified when its not available as easily anymore. The worlds a complicated place, and sometimes what seems like a nice solution might not work out so well...

Super Typhoon Haiyan Finishes Pounding the Philippines, Headed for Vietnam

After spending 48 hours at Category 5 strength, the strongest landfalling tropical cyclone in world history, Super Typhoon Haiyan, has finally weakened to a Category 4 storm. With top sustained winds of 155 mph, Haiyan is still an incredibly powerful super typhoon, but has now finished its rampage through the Central Philippine Islands, and is headed across the South China Sea towards Vietnam. Satellite loops show that Haiyan no longer has a well-defined eye, but the typhoon still has a huge area of intense thunderstorms which are bringing heavy rains to the Central Philippines. I've never witnessed a Category 5 storm that made landfall and stayed at Category 5 strength after spending so many hours over land, and there are very few storms that have stayed at Category 5 strength for so long.
