What factors contribute to the current groundwater situation, and how do they interact?

The ongoing drought and high temperatures are causing decreasing groundwater levels. The infiltration process is expected to cease completely in the coming weeks, lasting until autumn. The extent of the depletion depends on summer rainfall; while not directly contributing to groundwater recharge, it indirectly conserves the resource.
