Question

Where do you expect seepage of water into the ground to be less - in a village or in a big city? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Seepage of water will be lesser in a big city. This is because in big cities, open grounds are rarely available and most of the soil is covered with concrete or roads that block the seepage of water in the soil. In villages, open areas and uncovered soils are available which leads to higher seepage of water in the soil.
