Question

2. In an area in which a forest was cut to make a city, it was found that the water table went
down. What could be the reasons for this?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

In many cases the water table falls if all you do is cut down the trees without clearing undergrowth. The major reasons are

increased run-off, particularly during the period when forest undergrowth is not yet replaced by open-area vegetation

lack of shade and shelter from wind

Quite frequently the air circulation also changes, so the rain tends to fall elsewhere.

Add buildings, roads and hard-standing and the opportunities for surface absorption reduce substantially.

Finally, start consuming the water stored in the aquifer…

An ideal recipe for drought - and floods too!

Answer 2

Answer:

As we know trees bring rainfall and roots of trees absorb water which leads to the increase in the water table but here the forests cut so, water table went down.
