A watershed, also known as a drainage basin, is an area of land where water drains to a central point like a lake river or an ocean. natural vegetation in the landscape, helps maintain the natural flow of Regine of water and rapid change in water level in lakes and wetlands. imagine a position of a wetland that has changed as scenes in the image. predict what will happen to the natural flow of water is natural vegetation as replaced by impervious surfaces

A) groundwater flows increase to its endpoint causing flooding

B) runoff will increase and less water will penetrate the soil to become groundwater

C) groundwater will puddle up and remain in one place instead of flowing to a central point

D) impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots will divert water flow and it will not reach its endpoint

Answer :

Answer:

B) runoff will increase and less water will penetrate the soil to become groundwater.

D) impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots will divert water flow and it will not reach its endpoint

Explanation:

The runoff will increase and less water will penetrate into the soil to become groundwater if natural vegetation is replaced by impervious surfaces. The natural vegetation helps to lower the speed and intensity by absorbing large amount of water. Due to this absorbing, there is an increase occur in the concentration of groundwater level which increases underground water reserves for the coming generations. These impervious surfaces also act as a barrier that diverts water and prevents the water to reach to its ending point.
