Discuss any two cause that lead to a decrease in ground water level.

Solution

Dear student,

Decrease in ground water level occurs because of excessive use. The largest use for groundwater is to irrigate crops. Water pumped out of the ground for irrigation, industrial uses, and even drinking. Deforestation also decreases the ground water level, because trees hold large quantities of water that evaporates.
