The consequences are the loss of groundwater recharge, reduced base flows in streams, increased flooding, and lower water quality. (americanrivers.org)
Once the growth of Little Ice Age glaciers stopped, and groundwater base flow was no longer offset, we would expect sea levels to rise as witnessed during the 19th and 20th centuries. (landscapesandcycles.net)
Mixed response in hydraulic diversity compared to base flow periods. (environment.gov.au)
