Explanation:

Water is an important substance that is needed by people around the world. There are many ways to have an ample supply of water and one of which is by "pumping water from a well." What is being accessed here is the water found in the aquifers, which is below the water table, thus, people try to drill a hole into it. When people try to over-pump, the action causes a depression in the water table. This is known as "cone of depression." This can lead to some consequences such as drawing too much water in a fast manner, emptying the water table.
