Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a severe drought, the water table drops significantly, and the existing wells may not reach the groundwater anymore. Therefore, deeper wells need to be dug to ensure access to the dwindling groundwater reserves. Increasing the number of wells or locating them next to streams may not be effective as the water levels in the streams may also decrease during the drought. Digging wells at higher elevations will not help as the groundwater flow is determined by the topography and geology of the area.
