Explanation:
Sea water is only the proportion of water on the earth's surface which is saline is not suitable for consumption. Only rain water and comprising 0.01 % are sources of water. River warer being limited and rivers drying up during the summer seasons, the dependence on ground water is inevitable. The underground water is drawn out by using various devices such as hand pumps and tube wells. This water is again replenished by means of seepage of water into the ground during rainy season.
When there is imbalance between underground water it's replenishment the water table may go down. This is called depletion of water table.
