A. 

The aim of a tax on a valuable resource, in this case residential water use, is to reduce wasteful practices. In this case the county is considering a special tax when residential water use is ABOVE a certain amount. This is an effective mechanism to reduce wastage by causing high users to incur more cost. Everyone will still pay for their water consumption in the normal way (typically by a $/unit cost), however the tax will take effect when the residential water consumption reaches a certain point. This penalises high users of water by forcing them to pay more for a valuable resource. Note that essential services like energy and water are often subsidised in society. This means that we do not pay the true cost associated with the use of the resource. Setting a tax that applies to those that consume over a certain threshold helps to reduce wastage of an undervalued essential resource such as water or energy.

Which zone is most likely to have insects and very little plant life?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The right answer is D. The benthic zone

Explanation:

The limnetic and the littoral zone  all get a lot of sunlight so there are a lot of plant life. The pelagic zone hosts a variety of plant species so this cannot be the correct answer. That leaves us with the benthic zone.

Benthic meaning inhabiting bottom areas or substrates. Plant life at the bottom is very scarce but there are a lot of insect species.
