A) in some igneous groundwater reservoirs, flow is determined by the orientation of fractures
B) excess pumping from wells can cause subsidence and reduction of porosity
C) a decrease in the gradient slope of the water table) increases the velocity
D) water moves from areas where the water table is highest to areas where it is lowest

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The velocity of groundwater flow is directly related to the gradient or slope of the water table; an increase in the gradient slope increases the velocity, not a decrease.
