How can floods affect groundwater levels?

The impact of high rainfall and floods on the surface and groundwater resources is complex. The aquifers in the basin are recharged by direct rainfall, river water, canal flows, irrigation return flow and floods. read more

The current study evaluates the extent of ground water recharge, due to high rainfall and floods. The rise in water table is associated with an increase in ground water storage. During the flood, the unconfined aquifer attainded the maximum level of groundwater due to increased groundwater recharge. read more

The amount of precipitation we receive can also affect groundwater levels. If you plan to construct a well on your development property, groundwater levels might determine the well you build. Wells pump water from an aquifer, an area that holds a lot of groundwater. read more
