Answer:

Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.

Explanation:

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.

xeze [42]

Answer: False.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is found in the linings of many structures throughout the body. There are two kinds of epithelial tissue: simple and stratified. And they perform different functions and are structured differently.

The simple epithelium consists of one single layer of cells. In this way, all cells are in direct contact with the basement membrane and are separated from the connective tissue. The main function of this epithelium is absorption and filtration.

The stratified epithelium is composed of many layers of cells that are stacked together. In this way, this epithelium has the function of protecting against physical and chemical damage.
