what is aquifer vulnerability?

it means you might run out of water be prepared to break camp and move on

Artesian water comes from a source deep within the earth, protected by layers of clay and rock. There is no opening, not even a porthole to the surface. As a result, the water never comes into contact with the air, protecting it from environmental pollutants and other contamination. So you decide.

My guess is dissipation, hydrothermal, volcanic. Just guessing.

filled with gas or water.  otherwise it sinks (see maracaibo city in venezuela, some parts currently 2m below sea level due to sinking)

there is ground water... be ready to be fascinated...

mainly to do with temperature and climate in various parts of the world be unable to sustain a  natural water supply

For it to create artesian conditions it would have to be something that has very low, or no, permeability.  In my experience this is usually unfractured limestone, mudstone, or shale.

I think this guy is talking about bentonite.  It's an expanding, ultra-low permeability clay that comes in pellets or chips (dry, of course).  We use it in the environmental business to seal between groundwater layers.

no\nthe water evaporates too fast to cause any harm

Scale.\n\nThe intrusion into the earth's surface by humans is generally so tiny that it is dwarfed by the pressure keeping the rock packed together.\n\nConversely, for humans, a cave-in is catastrophic, but for the mountain, it is a non-event.

Water level will for a fact one day be a threat to the populations in certain areas but i highly doubt that it will occur anytime soon... maybe in a 100 years or more. I could be wrong though :(

Water potential is the tendency of water to move from one place to another. It is typically measured in units of atmospheric pressure: pascals or pounds force per square inch or bars or dynes per square centimeter. It is a measure of the ability of a solution to absorb water by osmosis.

I think that the ports are the most vulnerable.  Only a tiny percentage of cargo containers that past through the US ports are inspected.  One can only imagine what is slipping through.

Before the pineapple plantations, a geologists discovered the large aquifer(Maui Oahu?) and drilled for the artisan well. It is dry where the plants are, wet on the other side of the mountains where it feeds the groundwater.

your well could be running low/shallow. Im not sure what area you live in but here in georgia the wells are just about dried up.\nYour housing for the well may need an overhaul or new pump. If you are tapped into a spring you may just need to dig deeper and also you need to find out if your neighbors are getting water supply from the same vein. Had a neighbor once who was on the same vein and we had plenty of water until he grew a 5 acre garden and insisted on watering it every day rain or shine so he dug deeper and hit iron pyrite (spelling) thus rendering the water undrinkable.
