- 1.) Groundwater depletion most commonly occurs because of the frequent pumping of water from the ground.
- 2.) We continuously pump groundwater from aquifers and it does not have enough time to replenish itself.
- 3.) Agricultural needs require a large amount of groundwater.
- 4.) The activities that lead to groundwater depletion come mostly from humans, but a portion of it also comes from changes in our climate and can speed up the process.
