Answer 1

D. Groundwater depletion

Step-by-step explanation:

Groundwater is the water that is found just under the surface of the earth.

The effect of using groundwater to irrigate crops between 1955 and 1977 in the San Joaquin Valley was that there was groundwater depletion as there was scarcity of groundwater, even as the irrigation brought increase in yield.
