Explain what harmful effects can occur from overpumping aquifers

Explanation:

An aquifer is a water bearing formation within the earth crust.

In Geology, an aquifer is said to be a porous and permeable rock unit.

When an aquifer is over pumped, there is increase in pressure within pore spaces. The increase in pore pressure can lead to the aquifer being damage and a total collapse of the rock's framework. Over pumping aquifers leads to production of more sand and earth materials on water.

It can also lead to total blockage and damage of the aquifer.

sand 60

clay 10

silt 30

sandy loam should be dominated by the sand. as the amount of sand increased, the amount of slit needed to anchor the plants' roots to the sand will also be increased. even though the amount is very little, 10% part of clay is still necessary for proper oxidation.
