Question

Identify the side effect of rapid percolation of water.

• A. Soil erosion
• B. Soil acidity
• C. Loss of nutrient
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Loss of nutrient

The percolation tanks are constructed in the land which is highly permeable. The water which gets collected in the tank is then percolated in the ground. and helps to recharge the groundwater system. The nutrients which are present in the soil solution gets leached and migrate to the groundwater reserves. This causes loss of the nutrients of the soil.

The correct answer is option C.
