Question

which of the inflow and outflow processes has most impact in the context of groundwater resoures

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three types of inflow process:

1. Precipitation: This includes snow, dew, hails etc.

2. Surface flow: These are rivers, streams, canals etc.

3. Ground flow: Consistent percolation of water into deep soil, creates an abundance of water storage. The water that we obtain through tube well.

Outflow process is:

c. Evaporation: The process of turning water into the vapor of water bodies.

d. Transpiration: the living things give off water into the atmosphere through the breathing process.

The aquifers are not available for immediate use. It takes time in accumulation and then it is available.

Evaporation and transpiration are major contributors while evaporation has the most impact on groundwater resources.
