Many areas of the world rely on aquifers for water for household, industrial, and agricultural use. Experts predict that some of these aquifers are at risk of running dry.

10. Which one of the following would be useful for reducing this risk?
(1 point)
• expanding aquifer access with more wells
• enforcing strict limits on the amount of water pumped from the aquifer
• adding pavement above the aquifer to reduce groundwater seepage
• increasing pumping speed to remove water from aquifers quickly

Enforcing strict limits on the amount of water pumped from the aquifer would be useful for reducing the risk of aquifers running dry.
