Answer 1

As the population grows, the most accurate response is:

The aquifers are not recharged as quickly.

This is because increased demand for water from a growing population can lead to over-extraction of water from aquifers, often outpacing the natural recharge rate. Other options, such as an increase in water supply or size of aquifers, are not generally true as population growth typically puts more stress on water resources.
