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.
Which one of the following would be useful for reducing this risk?
A. enforcing strict limits on the amount of water pumped from the aquifer
B. expanding aquifer access with more wells
C. adding pavement above the aquifer to reduce groundwater seepage
D. increasing pumping speed to remove water from aquifers quickly
A. enforcing strict limits on the amount of water pumped from the aquifer
By enforcing strict limits on the amount of water that can be pumped from the aquifer, it will help conserve the water supply and reduce the risk of the aquifer running dry. This will help ensure that the water supply remains stable and sustainable for future use.
