Original sentence: Further increases in usage would force societies to conform ground water usage to actual recharge rates.In coastal areas, deep water wells also reverse normal ground water flow toward the ocean, leading to saline water intrusion into aquifers.In developed areas of the world agriculture, and competing industry and municipal users mine fossil water supplies.In spite of better water efficiency use, higher summer temperature and lower summer rainfall caused by global warming is likely to have adverse effects.The intensification of the extremes of the hydrological global cycle, will have consequences such as more frequent drought in northern sub-tropical areas or desertification extension in arid areas, while causing devastating flood in other areas.Water is one of the major limiting factors in the growth and production of crops worldwide
Edited sentence: Further increases in usage will accelerate the day of reckoning when societies must conform ground water usage to actual recharge rates.In coastal areas deep water wells also reverse normal ground water flow toward the ocean, leading to saline water intrusion into aquifers.In developed areas of the world agriculture (and competing industry and municipal users) are mining fossil water supplies.In spite of better water efficiency use, higher summer temperature and lower summer rainfall is likely to have adverse effect.The intensification of the hydrological global cycle will have consequences such as more frequent drought in northern sub-tropical areas or desertification extension in arid areas.Water is a major limiting factor in the growth and production of crops worldwide
