c. Recharge by precipitation
Precipitation is a natural way for water to replenish aquifers. When rain falls, it percolates down through the soil and eventually replenishes the groundwater supply. This is a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to refill aquifers with healthy water. Flooding from a storm or a dam breaking can lead to contamination and erosion, while runoff from a road can introduce pollutants into the groundwater. Running a garden hose continuously is wasteful and not a sustainable method for refilling aquifers.
Which is the BEST way to refill our aquifers with healthy water?
a. Running the garden hose continuously so it soaks back into the ground
b.Flooding from a storm or a dam breaking
c. Recharge by precipitation
