How could building new roads affect the recharge zone of an aquifer?
If the aquifer is covered by an impermeable rock layer, water cannot reach the aquifer. Construction of buildings on top of the recharge zone can also limit the amount of water that enters an aquifer. OR The presence of roofs, buildings, pavements, and streets indicates that engineering has taken place to remove rainwater via underground plumbing systems, normally in the form of storm sewers. Storm sewers are usually directed to a stream or river near the urban growth. The stream or river may direct the rainfall that once recharged the aquifer to a point hundreds of miles away.
