Under which condition would a lowering of the water table most likely occur?
Increased use of water by a growing population can deplete the underground aquifer and lower the water table faster than it can be naturally replenished.Extended drought over the recharge zone can prevent an aquifer from replenishing its water supply.
Is erosion caused by drought?
Not naturally.
How do people obtain water from an aquifer?
they drill a well. Or collect water from naturally occurring springs
Why is it important to protect an aquifer recharge area?
It is important because you get what we have going now in California and that is a drought. Cities and towns are running out of water, the rivers and lakes are drying up, farmers are not planting crops because of no water. All of this is happening because we didn't protect the aquifer and recharge it.
Why is the aquifer important?
Aquifers are important because they provide a source of clean, filtered water. They use sand and soil to naturally filter water as it is collected.
What is consolidated aquifer?
It is a strong aquifer that is well recharged and dischcarged
How can an aquifier be recharged naturally after a drought?
Other parts of land that isn't having a drought, water soaks into the ground and if its on a hill then the water will run down it and fill up the water table that are dry.
What are some harmful effects of aquifer depletion?
The aquifer cannot be recharged fast enough

What is formed when a small aquifer comes to the surface naturally?
A spring.

Not naturally.
What aquifer does Pataskala Ohio have?
According to newarkadvocate.com, "Pataskala gets its drinking water from an aquifer located more than 100 feet beneath the ground. It is recharged [. . .] by rain and water flowing from the South Fork of the Licking River."
How does arsenic get in water?
Usually from naturally occurring deposits of arsenic ore in the aquifer.
How do people obtain water from an aquifer?
they drill a well. Or collect water from naturally occurring springs
Does water discharge from an aquifer naturally?
Yes be it a spring, a swamp, a sinkhole, a gyser or mt St Helens
How can you prevent desert droughts?
Deserts are naturally in a perpetual state of drought.
What would offer the best protection against a water shortage?
An underground aquifer would provide the best protection against a water shortage caused by drought.
