Industrial activity can lead to the depletion of the water table through excessive water extraction for manufacturing processes and cooling purposes. Additionally, pollution from industrial runoff can contaminate groundwater, making it unsuitable for consumption and further reducing available water sources. The overall increase in demand for water by industries can stress local water resources, leading to a decline in the water table level.
The rainwater and water from rivers & ponds seep through the soil. When it goes underground it gets trapped in the space between the rocks underneath. The upper level of this layer is called water table.
No. Adverse effects are effects that cause something undesirable to happen, while side effectsare simply results other than that which you were trying to produce. If I poured water on you, the adverse effect would be that you got wet (which you don't like) and the side effect would be that the ground got wet, which I didn't intend, but happened because of what I did.
Global warming can lead to changes in precipitation patterns, causing more frequent and severe droughts in certain regions. This can result in increased evaporation and reduced recharge of groundwater, leading to a decline in the water table level. Additionally, rising temperatures can also increase water demand for irrigation and other uses, further exacerbating the depletion of water tables.
The aquifer cannot be recharged fast enough
The ozone depletion has various effects on natural resources. Resource like water cycle gets disturbed.

The factors responsible for the depletion of water table are as follows:(i)Increasing populationAs a result of increasing population, all the facilities such as houses, shops, roads, offices, pavements, etc. increase to fulfil the increasing demands. This, in turn, decreases the open area for seepage of water into the ground.(ii)Increasing industriesMost of the stages of manufacturing processes in industries require water. If the number of industries increases, then the water required by them will also increase. Therefore, increase of industries contributes to the depletion of water table.(iii)Agricultural activitiesIndia is an agricultural country and agriculture is impossible without water. The water for agriculture is mainly utilised from ground water, rain water and canal water. As there is no rainfall in many places, agriculture cannot be entirely depended on rain water. Also, canal water is available in a few places only. Therefore, ground water is the main source of water for agricultural activities and this causes depletion of water table.

drink it................. ok?
I've been using it all my life and see no adverse effects.
Yes, when more water is pumped out of the water table than is replaced, the water table will drop. This can result in negative consequences such as decreased water availability for wells and surface water bodies, as well as potential land subsidence. It is important to manage water usage sustainably to prevent depletion of water tables.
The water table near a pumped well will typically decrease as the pump extracts water from the aquifer. This can lead to a cone of depression forming around the well, where the water level is lower compared to the surrounding areas. Over-pumping can cause long-term decline in the water table and potential depletion of the aquifer.
Quinine was pulled from shelves a few years ago, due to adverse effects on the heart
Groundwater depletion can lower the water table, leading to reduced base flow in streams. This decrease in base flow can impact stream ecosystems, aquatic life, and water quality. Additionally, it can increase the risk of stream drying up during dry periods.
the reasons are : 1)over population-increase in population has caused an increase in the amount of water used in agricultural fields, industries and domestic uses 2)sewage- the improper channelising of sewage water also results in an increase in polluted water that cannot be used anymore and so it is also like depletion
