Solution

The correct option is A True
An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing rock. It is a renewable source of freshwater as it can be recharged by rainfall, melted snow, etc. The water can be brought to the surface through natural springs or by pumping. However, if the rate of usage of aquifers is greater than that of their recharge, it can cause them to deplete.
