Question
Imagine a region in which there is no local precipitation (that is, no rain or snow) and no local surface bodies of water (that is. no glaciers, rivers. lakes, and so on), but that there is a large aquifer. In principle, is it possible to use this region's water sustainably? Why or why not? no - sustainable water use s determined by surface water changes, and there is no surface water no - it is not possible to balance outgoing water use as there are no incoming fluxes no - the water cycle cannot be operating r this area, and the water cycle is needed to replenish water supplies yes - a large aquifer can be used for many years before being depleted yes - gravity driven. underground flows could provide a flux of water to the region Which of the following is a major storage component of the hydrologic system? World-wide, what is the biggest single use of water?Explanation / Answer
Answer 1. yes- a large aquifier can be used for many years being depleted
Answer 2. Surface runoff is the major storage component of the hydrologic system.
Answer 3.Agriculture use is the biggest single use of water
Answer 4. True ,as the rapid or immediate increase in agriculture leads to green revolution
answer 5. True
