Question

An area experiences a long period of drought, forcing towns to pump out almost all of the water held in aquifers. What is the most likely result of this overpumping?

Answer 1

The aquifer could dry up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aquifers are natural reservoirs of water that can supply the need of the population during continuous dry seasons. These reservoirs of water are generally composed of porous sediments saturated with groundwater, which accumulates by precipitation.
