Water Abstraction




Depending on the environmental legislation in the relevant country, controls may be placed on abstraction to limit the amount of water that can be removed. Over abstraction can lead to River s drying up or the level of Groundwater Aquifer s reducing unacceptably.

The science of Hydrogeology is used to assess safe abstraction levels.
