Reflection Questions- Article 1 5. Using the simulation, describe what happens to groundwater when pumping is lower or
equal to the rate of infiltration.
6. Using the simulation, describe what happens to the stream and water table as the
number of pumps running is increased.
7. How can water needs be met if the rate of infiltration is lower than the rate of pumping?
8. In the simulation, what happened to the stream as the water table dropped? What will
happen to the groundwater if a pollutant is added to the stream?
9. Predict long-term changes to the surface landscape of the area if too much water is
drawn from the ground and the water table drops further.
