a) Outline the principles behind how the conjuctive use of surface water resources together with groundwater resources can be achieved. b) Explain why conjuctive use can lead to more effecience management of water resources than can be achieved if the two resources are managed individually.

Note: Hi! Thank you for the question As per the honour code, We’ll answer the first question since the exact one wasn’t specified. Please submit a new question by specifying the one you’d like answered in the remaining questions.
Combined use of surface and groundwater involves combining the use of both water source in order to reduce adverse physical, environmental and economic effects on each solution and to balance the demand for water supply. Often the combined use of surface and groundwater is considered within the river system management system - that is, both the river and the aquifer belong to the same valley.
