In some areas of Texas, rainfall quickly soaks through layers of porous rock and is stored naturally underground. The water is then pumped into homes for people to use. What would have the greatest impact on the amount of water available for people in this area?

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of rainfall would have the greatest impact on the amount of water available for people in this area. The more the rainfall the more water soaks through layers of porous rocks.Hence, level of water table will remain sufficient for easy pumping of water to the homes.Texas receives plenty of rainfall in a year.In a single year the region can receive up to 48 inches (1,200 mm) of precipitation, and flooding is common near rivers and in low-lying areas. Therefore water table remains intact throughout the year.
