How can groundwater depletion affect streams and water quality?

Geography

navik [9.2K]4 years ago

The groundwater is the largest freshwater reservoir on Earth in liquid form. These waters though are not isolated from the rest of the freshwater, but instead they are connected with the streams, thus they affect them heavily.

The groundwater has been heavily used in the last century, and it has been depleted. The depletion of the groundwater has been the result of over usage, or to put it simple, more water has been extracted than what naturally is replenished.

This has been causing more and more problems. Apart from the groundwater resources getting depleted and than be unusable, the depletion of their water has resulted in lowering of the level of water of the streams, as the streams have been receiving less and less water. Also, because there is much less water and it mixes with lot of ground and rocks, the water quality has been becoming worse and worse, and if this trend continues it can have devastating effects.

Ground water pumping can alter how water moves between aquifer and a stream, or lake by either intercepting groundwater flow that discharges into the surface-water body under natural conditions, or by increasing the rate of water movement from the surface-water body into an aquifer.

Which of the following is an example of cultural diversity
Scilla [17]

The correct answer is - A. Rap music and country music are both popular in the United States.

The rap music and the country music are both popular in the United States. This is a nice example of cultural diversity because these two music types have different origins. While the country music is a music type created by the white settlers in America, and over time grew to be the traditional music of the United States, the rap music is a music type that was created by the black people in America. Despite being created by different racial and cultural groups both of these music types are popular in the United States and they have fans that are both white and black.
