Question

Ground water reserves are depleting at a fast rate?WHY

Answer 1

Hey there
Here is your answer

1. Groundwater depletion most commonly occurs because of the frequent pumping of water from the ground.

2. We continuously pump groundwater from aquifers and it does not have enough time to replenish itself.

3. Agricultural needs require a large amount of groundwater.

Hope you got it.

Answer 2

Groundwater depletion is a serious threat to the environment. The majority of our bodies and the Earth is made up of water. We may see the beautiful, flowing surface waters that make up the oceans, lakes and rivers, but this water is not always safe for consumption and is much more difficult to filter than groundwater. Consequently, water from the ground is especially valuable.

Groundwater is something that we need all over the world. Humans and animals need water in order to survive as our bodies could not function without it. We also need water to assist us in growing crops, powering equipment, and to keep us comfortable. Societies require much more clean water than we are afforded from precipitation and surface water, which is why groundwater is used so frequently.

If you were to see groundwater moving, you’ll likely find it interesting that so much water lies beneath us. From a bird’s eye view, you may even feel that there is more than enough water to go around. While we know that groundwater shortage is a serious issue, we should also know how water naturally finds its way into the aquifers we extract it from.



Nature goes through a unique process to provide us with groundwater. The surface water that we can see is heated by the Sun and goes into the atmosphere as evaporation. Water vapor then creates precipitation, water that falls from the sky as rain and snow. Once water falls from sky and onto the ground, it is absorbed into the Earth and is then stored as groundwater in aquifers.
