Causes of Groundwater Depletion
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.
4. Groundwater depletion can also occur naturally.
Effects of Groundwater Depletion
1. Groundwater depletion will force us to pump water from deeper within the Earth.
2. Large bodies of water will become more shallow from groundwater depletion.
3. Saltwater contamination can occur.
4. As large aquifers are depleted, food supply and people will suffer.
5. A lack of groundwater limits biodiversity and dangerous sinkholes result from depleted aquifers.
Solutions to Groundwater Depletion
1. As individuals, one of the things we can do to make a difference is to use less water for luxury purposes.
2. We should reduce our use of chemicals and dispose of them properly.
3. More comprehensive research and additional funding can help with groundwater depletion.
4. One of the most effective ways to address the issue of groundwater depletion is to find alternative sources of water.
5. The pumping of groundwater should be regulated.

Depletion of groundwater level has been one of the major causes of tension in the recent years for the environmentalist. The groundwater level has been slowly decreased in amount. This is because for the fact that we are pumping a huge amount of groundwater by using both bore tube Wells and deep tubewells. And we are not able to recharge the groundwater level.
Groundwater level should be recharged at each time by using various methods such as aquifers and such pumps which will force the surface water to the groundwater.
