In periods of heavy rains, groundwater increases will mask deep aquifer discharge.
Because water is increasingly energy - intensive to produce, we will likely be relying on fossil fuels for pumping water from deeper aquifers or for moving it through longer pipelines.
Given the fact that water in deep aquifers can take thousands of years to replenish, it would be foolish to leave them unregulated.
They assume that annually 5 ± 0.5 % of the water impounded seeps into deep aquifers, giving a 1990 rate of seepage of 0.61 to 0.75 mm / yr, and a total volume of 15 mm sea level equivalent.

By combining curcumin with natural pure frequency enhanced vortexed mineral waters from the deep aquifers of Germany and then fermented using a specific formula they have produced Curcuma 100 ® that is totally bioavailable and more effective than just curcumin on its own.
Although GRACE satellite monitoring of gravity changes offers great promise for detecting changes in terrestrial groundwater storage, GRACE can not accurately separate the relatively small discharge of deep aquifers from large annual changes in shallow groundwater.
And, although freshwater discharge from deep aquifers may be locally insignificant relative to river runoff, deep aquifer discharge when integrated across the globe could account for the missing contribution to the sea level rise budgets.
However, during extended periods of drought hydrologists assume the low river flow that persists must be largely attributed to supplies from deeper aquifers.
In contrast to La Nina induced shallow - aquifer effects, deep aquifers have been filled with meltwater from the last Ice Age, and that water is slowly and steadily seeping back into the oceans today.
