We are using our fresh water faster than the ground supply is replenished. Also, earth's water is threatened by pollution.
I'm studying business behavior at AOU i got this answer half from the book of my course and the rest from Internet i hope you find it useful =) Buffering is a try to minimize the environmental disruption by buffering or insulating the operations function from the eternal environment -organizations use buffering in order to exercise control over the global market - secure the supply for future in case of unpredictable circumstances 13-11-2012

If an area's rate of groundwater recharge exceeds its rate of groundwater discharge, it indicates that the groundwater supply in the area is being replenished at a faster rate than it is being used or lost. This is a positive sign for the sustainability of the groundwater supply in the area.
That area of land is known as a recharge zone or a groundwater recharge area. In this zone, water from precipitation or surface water sources infiltrates into the ground and replenishes the groundwater supply. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the environmental balance of groundwater resources.

Mostly
increased surface runoff and reduced infiltration of water into the ground. This can lead to decreased groundwater recharge, which impacts the overall supply of groundwater. Additionally, increased urbanization can introduce pollutants into the environment, further impacting the quality of groundwater.

Aquifers transport groundwater, which is water that is stored underground in saturated layers of rock or sediment. This groundwater can flow through the aquifer and supply water to wells and springs for human consumption or agricultural purposes.
