6.6. Safe Yield and Overpumping
The extraction of water by aquifers implies: Reduction of groundwater storage Groundwater outflow reduction Reduction of surface runoff Safe Yield: The annual amount of water that can be pumped without adverse effects on the aquifer Overpumping: Any quantity other than safe yield Zero risk approach: Safe Yield < Annual RechargeThis principle is conservative since in […]
