GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, Distance from the sea is not a direct factor affecting the distribution of groundwater.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main factors on which the flow of groundwater depends: Porosity, Permeability, and Gravity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The watershed area and the volume of water that drains from it relates directly to the size and flow of the primary stream or water body. Other factors that make each watershed distinctive include its mosaic of land uses, soil types, geology, topography, and climate.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cluster analysis indicated that three factors (weather, redox reaction and seawater intrusion) controlled the hydrochemistry of the area, and the variables were allocated to three groups based on similarity.
