The Hydrosphere - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Depleted Water Supply: When groundwater is pumped out faster than it can be replenished, wells dry up, leaving communities without access to fresh water.
      - Land Subsidence: Excessive pumping can cause the ground to sink, damaging infrastructure and agriculture.
      - Pollution: Overuse can lead to the contamination of groundwater with chemicals, making it unsafe to drink.
      - Environmental Impact: It disrupts ecosystems that depend on groundwater for survival, affecting plants, animals, and rivers.
