Question

one factor that could account for a drop in the water table is: a. less porous soil. b. more wind. c. pumping water from aquifers. d. more rain.

Explanation:

Pumping water from aquifers reduces the amount of groundwater, causing the water table to drop. Less porous soil affects infiltration rate but not as directly as pumping, more wind has little direct impact on the water - table, and more rain would generally raise the water table.

Answer:

C. pumping water from aquifers
