Energy inefficiency, creaking infrastructure (increasing transmission and distribution losses), lowering of water tables and electricity theft all have to be taken care of at once.
This causes lowering of water table level particularly during extreme summer seasons.
But on the contrary, the micro-fossil analyses indicate a lowering of water level at this time.
Additional benefits besides CO2 capture are also discussed for the possible increase of the plant productivity and possible lowering of water consumption by plants.
Acid sulfate soil materials, if disturbed or influenced by lowering of water levels, can have serious environmental impacts, that include harm to ecosystems and leaching of acidity and metals into water bodies.
Population increase, leading to increased demand for agricultural land and water, is driving a positive feedback loop resulting in the accelerating siltation of the lake and lowering of water levels.
Consequently, to forestall possible negative impacts of indiscriminate exploitation in terms of lowering of water level and groundwater quality deterioration, it is, therefore, necessary to have a proper understanding of the hydrogeological condition and groundwater potentiality in such basement terrain.
However, indiscriminate exploitation can lead to decrease in groundwater potential in terms of lowering of water level (hence increase in cost of groundwater withdrawal) and sometimes deterioration in groundwater quality.
Gradual facies change from the lacustrine Kalimati to prodeltaic Sunakothi Formation recorded in a drilled core at Ekantakuna also indicates lowering of water level in the central part of the basin at ca.38 ka.
The lowering of water tables is a serious problem faced by many countries around the world, including India, China, USA and many countries in central Asia (Brown 2005, p. 101 102).
