When groundwater is extracted, the water table drops. This can lead to a number of problems, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced availability of water for drinking, irrigation, and other uses<\/li>\n<li>Increased risk of flooding<\/li>\n<li>Degradation of ecosystems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Increased salinity: Salinity is the concentration of salt in water. When groundwater is extracted, it can bring salt to the surface. This can make the water unsuitable for drinking, irrigation, and other uses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Arsenic contamination: Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that can contaminate groundwater.
