Which of the following happens to water resources as the population grows the aquifers are not recharged as quickly the water supply increases the size of aquifers increases the level of water table rises

1 answer

As the population grows, the primary effect on water resources is that the aquifers are not recharged as quickly. Increased population typically leads to higher water demand for consumption, agriculture, and industry, which can result in faster depletion of groundwater resources. If the rate of water extraction exceeds the natural recharge rate of aquifers, this can lead to lowered water tables and reduced availability of fresh water resources.

In summary, the correct statement in response to a growing population would be: the aquifers are not recharged as quickly.
