Question
- the human activity of overdrawing groundwater can deplete aquifers, resulting in -sedimentation.excess groundwater.land subsidence.surface water pollution.clear all
Brief Explanations
When aquifers are depleted from over-pumping groundwater, the underground support that the water provided to the soil and rock is lost. This causes the land above to sink, which is land subsidence. Sedimentation is related to particle deposition, excess groundwater is the opposite of depletion, and surface water pollution is not a direct result of aquifer depletion.
