To accomplish this, sustainable yield typically allows only a portion of groundwater recharge to be withdrawn. (ucsusa.org)
For each region and time period, the researchers compared the projected groundwater recharge with the recharge during 1971 - 2000. (sciencedaily.com)
Increased runoff reduces groundwater recharge, thus lowering the water table and making droughts worse, especially for farmers and others who depend on water wells. (sciencedaily.com)
