Select a suitable option regarding the advantages of water stored in the ground.

• A. Does not evaporate
• B. Recharge Wells
• C. Protected from animal contamination
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above

The advantages of water stored in the ground are many. It does not evaporate, but spreads out to reach wells and provides moisture for vegetation over a wide area. In addition, groundwater is also protected from contamination by human and animal waste. Generally rain water does not get polluted, if it is away from the sanitary works and since bore are deep, chances of water remaining available in summer are more.
