DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Drainage basins are sometimes called. Watersheds. A hole dug into an aquifer to reach groundwater is called a. Well. From greatest to least, rank the primary uses of fresh water around the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -An aquifer is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater. Groundwater enters an aquifer as precipitation seeps through the soil. It can move through the aquifer and resurface through springs and wells.

Detailed explanation-3: -A well is a hole that is dug to below the level of the water table and through which groundwater is brought to Earth’s surface. A spring is a natural flow of groundwater to Earth’s surface in places where the ground surface dips below the water table.

Detailed explanation-4: -Groundwater doesn’t flow like an underground river, but it is stored in-and slowly moves through-layers of soil, sand, and rock (called aquifers). Typically composed of gravel, sand, sandstone, or fractured rock, aquifers allow large underground reservoirs of water to accumulate.
