Answer to Question 1

A well is drilled into the zone of saturation and water percolates into the well filling it to the level of
the water table. Then the water is brought to the surface by pumping.



Answer to Question 2

The water table drops if withdrawals from the system exceed deposits into the system.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
