Question

1. analyze the photo above of permeable pavement. how does this type of pavement benefit groundwater and surface water in a watershed?- it allows surface water to become runoff.- it prevents precipitation from soaking into the ground.- it prevents groundwater pollution.- it allows precipitation to soak into the ground.clear all

Explanation:

Permeable pavement is designed with gaps or porous materials that let precipitation pass through instead of running off. This allows water to infiltrate the ground, recharging groundwater and reducing surface runoff (which can carry pollutants). The other options are incorrect: it does not promote runoff, block infiltration, or directly prevent groundwater pollution (though it can reduce pollutant runoff indirectly, its core benefit is enabling infiltration).

Answer:

It allows precipitation to soak into the ground.
