Question

How does planting trees help in groundwater conservation?

Answer 1

Conservation of groundwater by planting trees:

• Groundwater is the water that seeps into the ground and is available as underground water.
• Soil conservation methods such as planting trees, increase the supply of groundwater.
• This is because the roots of the plants hold the soil together, thus preventing soil erosion and the roots also percolate deep into the ground, thus increasing water circulation.
