Which risk increases for gardens when increased impervious paving alters the local soil's hydraulic characteristics?

💡 Explanation

Aquifer depletion occurs because reduced infiltration due to increased impervious concrete creates reduced groundwater recharge. Therefore, the aquifer system lacks natural replenishment rather than the collapsing of the capillary fringe because localized rather than distributed pressure changes do not significantly interact.
