Groundwater extraction can have several environmental impacts, such as land subsidence, reduction in surface water flow, and degradation of water quality. Land subsidence occurs when the soil collapses due to excessive extraction of groundwater, leading to sinkholes and land deformation. Reduction in surface water flow occurs when groundwater extraction lowers the water table, reducing the flow of water in streams and rivers. Groundwater extraction can also cause contamination of the resource due to the infiltration of pollutants from the surface.
