Q: Can you spread the load on an aquifer by extracting from more wells distributed over a wider area?
A: No
Q: Which conditions give water the best cleaning effect on the way to becoming groundwater?
A: Fast travel time through the subsurface
Q: Which conditions give water the best cleaning effect on the way to becoming groundwater?
A: Slow travel time through the subsurface
Q: Which conditions give water the best cleaning effect on the way to becoming groundwater?
A: There is no cleaning effect through the subsurface
Q: What happens if groundwater is depleted too fast?
A: The land subsides and a shallow lake forms
Q: What happens if groundwater is depleted too fast?
A: The land subsides and dries out
Q: What happens if groundwater is depleted too fast?
A: Water pressure drops, but in principle the aquifer is always there
