Question

what do you mean by lowering of water table?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Groundwater occurs in the saturated soil and rock below the water table. ... If water is withdrawn from the ground at a faster rate that it is replenished, either by infiltration from the surface or from streams, then the water table can become lower, resulting in a "cone of depression" around the well.

Answer 2

A groundwater shortage keeps additional water from flowing into lakes, rivers and seas. This means that over time, less water will enter as the existing surface water continues to evaporate. As the water becomes less deep, it will affect everything in that particular region, including fish and wildlife.
