Explanation:
The two main causes of Depletion of Water Table are Deforestation and Over-pumping of groundwater.
Deforestation
Deforestation(Read more in detail) means to clear the forest land by cutting the trees and shrubs and converting it into a commercial or a residential land. It has an adverse effect on the water table. Forests transport large quantities of water into the atmosphere via plant transpiration. As the deforestation occurs, there is no rain in that area, flowing away as river water and causing permanent drying.
