6 0

Answer:

Groundwater flow is generally towards the coast. In Florida, the aquifer contains two high- permeability zones separated by less permeable sands and clay's. The lower zone, which is under confined conditions, is referred to as the "main producing zone" because most of the groundwater use is withdrawn from this zone.

Anit [1.1K]
<span>The best answer is (d) water from snowmelts. The American Southwest has many mountains that catch moist air moving westward (from the Pacific) that falls as snow during the winter. The snow melts gradually during the spring and summer when there is little precipitation. The melted snow runs off the mountains into rivers and streams that can be tapped by irrigation pumps. The snowmelt also sinks into the ground, replenishing underground aquifers that can be tapped by wells in the valleys where farming takes place.</span>
