SUSTAINABLE USE OF GROUNDWATER

• Hydrological studies evaluate the aquifer's natural replenishment from percolation of precipitation.

• Hydrogeological studies evaluate the aquifer's characteristics and spatial extent, and its connectivity with other neighboring aquifers.

• Hydroecological studies evaluate impacts of groundwater depletion on riparian vegetation and wetlands.

• Fluvial geomorphology studies evaluate the impact of groundwater depletion on stream channel degradation.
