How does the fall in water level in wells affect?
Answers
The reason behind the increase or decrease of the water level is rain . If there will be high rainfall then the water level in the wells will increase . If there will be low rainfall then the water level in the wells will decrease .
Answer:
Water levels in groundwater wells can fluctuate due to changes in pumping, recharge (how fast the groundwater is replenished), and even the season.
Explanation:
Water levels in wells are constantly changing both in the short term and over the long term. Some wells even have a seasonal change. In the short term, water levels can be lowered just by pumping water out of the well for use. Also, a well may be pumped so much as to cause the water level in nearby wells to be lowered, too. In some places people have withdrawn water faster than water replenishes the aquifer, and the wells have stopped producing water. It all depends on how fast the aquifer that the well uses is resaturated with water from the surface or from the area surrounding it (recharge). The characteristics of the rock that make up the aquifer come into play here, especially how permeable and porous the aquifer is.
Sometimes this is a long-term problem occurring over a very large area. If the underground-rock characteristics mean that it takes a long time for precipitation to replenish the aquifer, and if wells are pumping at a significant enough rate, then whole group of wells may stop producing usable water. Users will have to wait until the aquifer becomes more saturated again before turning back on the pumps. Also, an aquifer can only contain water if there is water coming into it, usually from rainwater seeping down from the surface. In a severe drought water levels in wells can significantly decline.
