Question

The water level in fresh water sources like rivers and lakes _______ during the rainy season and _______ during the summer season.

• A. increases, increases
• B. decreases, decreases
• C. decreases, increases
• D. increases, decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is D increases, decreases

Water level in fresh water sources like rivers, lakes, etc depends on rainfall. During the rainy season, these waterbodies receive enough rainfall, which causes the water level to rise.

However, in the summer season, the water in these waterbodies gets heated, causing them to evaporate. This results in a decrease in water level.
