Question

What is a possible long-term consequence of groundwater overdraft?

Answer 1

The answer to the given question above is:
A possible long-term consequence of groundwater overdraft is polluted groundwater.
>>Groundwater overdraft occurs when water removal exceeds water recharge.
>>The most severe result of excessive groundwater pumping is that the water table, below which the ground is saturated with water, can be lowered.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Unproductive wells.

The possible long-term consequences of groundwater overdraft is the unproductive wells.

Groundwater overdraft is known to occur when the ground water which is used exceeds the amount which is in the aquifer.

Groundwater results in reduced in supply of water reason being groundwater pumping costs, groundwater contamination, aquifer depletion or cost of well deepening.
