Safe yield definition

Safe yield means the annual draft of water that can be withdrawn from an aquifer without producing some undesirable result such as reducing the total amount of water available or allowing the ingress of low-quality water.

Safe yield means the amount of groundwater that can be withdrawn from a groundwater basin over a period of time without exceeding the long-term recharge of the basin or unreasonably affecting the basin's physical and chemical integrity.

Safe yield means a groundwater management goal which THAT

Examples of Safe yield in a sentence

• Safe yield shall be equal to 90% of the hourly yield of the well multiplied by 18 hours of pumping per day except that the safe yield may be less when utilization of this yield will have unacceptable impacts or when historical reports or other information indicates that the safe yield is less.

• Safe yield tests to assess the capacity and reliability of the water source were also not conducted in any of the test-checked schemes (except JnNURM).The Government replied (January 2017) that WSS are proposed only on the basis of the results of tests conducted to ensure reliability and dependability of source.

• Safe yield means the maximum amount of water which can be safely abstracted from a given aquifer without affecting its sustainable yield.

• Safe yield is the quantity of water that can be extracted from a source at specified demand levels and seasonal variations while still meeting the supply reliability standard, instream flow requirements, and other systemconstraints.

• Safe yield is defined separately for water-table aquifers and for artesian (confined) aquifers (see Section 7 for glossary of terms).
