Question

what will most likely happen if groundwater is drawn from the ground faster than it can be restored? the water table will be lowered. the water will become polluted. the water will flow to the sea. the water will fill nearby wells.

Explanation:

Groundwater is stored in the soil and rock layers below the Earth's surface. When it is withdrawn faster than it can be replenished through natural processes like infiltration, the level of the water - table (the upper surface of the saturated zone of groundwater) drops. Pollution is related to contaminants entering the water, not the rate of withdrawal. Water flowing to the sea or filling nearby wells is not a direct consequence of over - extraction.

Answer:

The water table will be lowered.
