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.

What factors could affect how much water can reach an aquifer?

The factors that could affect how much water can reach an aquifer include the permeability of the surrounding rock or soil, the presence of natural barriers such as clay layers or faults, the amount of precipitation and recharge in the area, and human activities such as groundwater pumping or construction that may disrupt the natural flow of water.


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.

Aquifer in a sentence?

(An aquifer is an underground strata containing water.) The increase in agriculture in the valley depleted much of the water in the aquifer. An aquifer can provide water for land that is not near a body of water.
