How does pumping water affect the water table?
What will be an ideal response?
The shape of the water table declines as water is withdrawn, leaving a cone of depression around the well. This cone enlarges with increased discharge and draws water from more and more of the aquifer, possibly impacting other wells. Decreasing discharge will cause the cone to shrink.
