<u>Answer:</u>
Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
- During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.
- But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.
- To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.
A. Most people thought that trillium was not getting enough sunlight in the forest.
Explanation – Scientists used to believe that the population of trillium decreased because there were not enough sunlight to reach these plants. Later, it was found that deer used to eat the flowers of trillium plant that led to the decrease of its population.
The seed of the trillium plant is very nutritious and hence consumed by the deer. Because of this, trilliums were found to be unlikely to recolonize local areas on their own.
The correct answer is true
No, I don't think we adequately account for the environmental impact in the cost that consumers pay for coal. <span>Consumers are paying much too low a price for coal-generated electricity, because the price they pay does not take account of the very large external costs associated with generation.</span>
