How could building new roads affect the recharge zone of an aquifer?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
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.

How could new roads affect the recharge zone of an aquifer?

How could a highway affect a aquifer?
A highway could remove enogh soil that it could expose the aquifer to air and the chemicals, such as tar might contaminate the aquifer as well.
Why are recharge zones environmentally sensitive?
Aquifers are essentially lakes of water underground (sometimes pooled or sometimes in a matrix like limestone). They are finite, meaning they contain only a certain volume of water. A recharge zone allows new water to enter the aquifer. Without such a zone, an aquifer can eventually run dry if the volume of water being removed exceeds that of the volume being replaced.

How does mountain building affect drainage patterns?
