Water Table

#draft

• Water table level
  • Impacts from cities (diverting water which would be absorbed into fast and straight concrete paths to the ocean)
  • Impacts from farming
  • Impacts from deforestation
  • Restoration via:
    • Land use change (removal of flat farmland and installation of water-harvesting structures)
    • Urban planning (planning to enable water to be reabsorbed by the land rather than captured and funnelled into monolithic infrastructure)
      • This reduces the volumes of water present in storms/floods and simultaneously directs that water to restoring the water table
