Which water cycle processes usually cause a lowering in the water table? Which processes cause a rise?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Lowering: During the summer months, the water table tends to fall, due in part to plants taking up water from the soil surface before it can reach the water table. The water table level is also influenced by human extraction of groundwater using wells; groundwater is pumped out for drinking water and to irrigate farmland.

Rise: Fluctuations in the water table level are caused by changes in precipitation between seasons and years. During late winter and spring, when snow melts and precipitation is high, the water table rises.

The water table level can vary in different areas and even within the same area. Fluctuations in the water table level are caused by changes in precipitation between seasons and years. ... If water is not extracted through a well in a sustainable manner, the water table may drop permanently.
