Glossary:Groundwater abstraction
From Statistics Explained
Groundwater abstraction is the process of removing freshwater from underground sources, either temporarily or permanently. Groundwater includes springs, both concentrated and diffused, which may also be under water. Depending on the environmental legislation in the country concerned, controls may be placed on abstraction to limit the amount of water that can be legally removed.
