The depletion of ground water is typical in the whole area of the Hungarian Great Plain but it is the most pronounced in the Danube-Tisza interfluve (region between two rivers). Of the many underlying causes climate changes, increased ground water extraction, changing land use and surface cover are the most considerable, thus anthropogenic* causes are predominant. The share of climatic and anthropogenic background-causes responsible for the observed ground water table decrease is estimated to be 50% each. According to estimates the extraction of artesian water has a 25% contribution to the share of anthropogenic causes, while that of soil water and hydrocarbon extraction is 8%, that of changing land use is 10%, and water management is responsible for 7%. * caused by human interference Source: Mezősi Gábor Magyarország természetföldrajza, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, 243. írásbeli vizsga, II. összetevő 11 / október 18.
