1) underground water is being withdrawn and used constantly by people for cooking, drinking etc.

2) in urban areas, where the land surfaces are concrete and tarmac (non porous and very low permeability), water will not be able to infiltrate through, thus causing the water flows in the soil layer to decrease. Percolation, throughflow and baseflow are all decreased due to lack of water. This will cause the water table deep down in the soil layer to decrease in height, leading the lesser water being stored underground.

Hope this answers your question!
