Question 1
0.34 / 0.34 pts
when too much irrigation water is added to the ground and a saline water table rises to within the root zone of plants
when salt groundwater comes in contact with the root zone of plants
when salt (typically sodium chloride) in capillary water precipitates in the root zone of plants
Correct!
All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.
This is a brief quiz about the lecture on hydrology, both groundwater and surface water.

0.34 / 0.34 pts
Subsidence links to groundwater through the aquicludes that compress when too much groundwater withdrawal occurs
in the aquicludes.
Subsidence links to groundwater through the pollution that takes place.
Subsidence links to groundwater through the fractures in the ground that open up with too much recharge of the
groundwater.
Correct!
Drawdown of the water table allows the pore spaces to be compressed (compacted) to the point where the surface of
the earth subsides (lowers).
This is the best answer.
