History

Which risk increases for gardens when increased impervious paving alters the local soil's hydraulic characteristics?

A)Aquifer depletion accelerates significantly
B)Piezometric surface sees anomalous drop
C)Capillary fringe collapses quickly
D)Evapotranspiration rates exhibit reduction

💡 Explanation

Aquifer depletion occurs because reduced infiltration due to increased impervious concrete creates reduced groundwater recharge. Therefore, the aquifer system lacks natural replenishment rather than the collapsing of the capillary fringe because localized rather than distributed pressure changes do not significantly interact.
