Schematic of groundwater flow (IMAGE)
Caption
A schematic representation of groundwater flow patterns. Besides natural recharge and seawater intrusion, anthropogenic effects including groundwater withdrawal and altered recharge and flow patterns due to built infrastructure, as well as augmentation by wastewater effluent injection, leakage from wastewater infrastructure (sewer lines, cesspools, septic tanks) and irrigation (agriculture and landscaping) affect the magnitude and composition of SGD.
