Which of the inflow or outflow processes has the most impact in the context of groundwater resources?

Answer»

1. In the context of groundwater resources the inflows like recharging, rainfall, aquifers etc. 

2. In the context of groundwater resources the outflows are like borewells, tube wells, pumps etc. 

3. Out of all these processes outflow which shows most impact is the tube-wells. 

4. Use of the tubewells draws water from storages and lowers the water available to them. 

5. When we dig into deeper aquifers – this is mining water that has collected over thousands of years. 

6. With this we face today is the depletion of groundwater storages and a tendency not to care about the availability of water for future generations.

(OR)

1. Groundwater recharge may be explained as the process whereby the amount of water present in or flowing through the interstices of the sub-soil increases by natural or artificial means. 

2. Rainfall is the principal source for recharge of groundwater.
