Groundwater depletion predicted to worsen without pumping rate reduction.
The study aimed to find the best way to use groundwater in the Damaneh aquifer. Researchers used computer simulations to see how the aquifer reacts to different amounts of water being taken out. They found that if we keep using water the way we are now, the aquifer will dry up over time. But if we reduce how much water we pump out, we can help the aquifer stay healthy. By looking at how much water is pumped out and how much is left, we can make a plan to keep the water level stable. This will help protect the environment and make sure people can still get water from the aquifer in the future.
