Groundwater depletion occurs when water is extracted from underground aquifers faster than it can be naturally replenished. This often happens due to excessive use for agriculture, drinking water, and industrial processes. As a result, the water table drops, making it harder to access clean water. The consequences of groundwater depletion can be severe. It can lead to reduced water supply for communities, increased costs for water extraction, and environmental issues such as land subsidence and reduced water quality. Sustainable management practices are essential to prevent further depletion and ensure a reliable water source for future generations.
