Water Padlet by Katie Kr https://padlet.com/lisle202/n2bequ9m7a3t Katie, Jordan, and Stephanie en-us 2018-02-27 16:40:28 UTC 2025-11-19 00:27:35 UTC hello@padlet.com How can groundwater resources be managed so that withdrawal and replenishment are equal? jc19002 https://padlet.com/lisle202/n2bequ9m7a3t/wish/235990763 Grounddwater use leads to the "Tragedy of the Commons," with the eventual depletion of the resource and ruin to all. The effects of excessive groundwater development tend to become apparent gradually, with time often measured in decades. To assure sustainability, studies must show that the hydrological, ecological, and other impacts of groundwater utilization are minimal. In addition to water quantity, sustainability must imply the preservation of water quality.

This has to do with the Earth´s weather.The influence of weather can negatively affect the availability of fresh water.As temperatures increase, evaporation increases, sometimes resulting in droughts.

These sediments can change the shape of the earth.

When rain falls on a catchment, the amount of rainwater that reaches the waterways depends on the characteristics of the catchment, particularly its size, shape and land use. Some rainfall is 'captured' by soil and vegetation, and the remainder enters waterways as flow. http://www.chiefscientist.qld.gov.au/publications/understanding-floods/what-factors-contribute]]> 2018-02-27 16:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/n2bequ9m7a3t/wish/235993561 What effects does climate change have on river discharge in the United States? jc19002 https://padlet.com/lisle202/n2bequ9m7a3t/wish/235993900 Climate change is redefining earth’s natural landscape by
altering air and water temperature, runoff of water,
biodiversity, changes in precipitation. All of these factors
play a role in how rivers will be affected by climate
change. Streams will be affected differently by where they
are located and what their surrounding climate already is.

Limestone caves are a good example of solution channels.

It can help minimize the effects by providing ways to help minimize water build up.
