People drill water wells for their homes above the water table. As more homes are built, the number of wells increases. When the amount of water pumped out is greater than the amount that is replace, the existing water cycle can be disrupted. Which two effects will drilling many wells have on the existing hydrologic cycle? a) Drilling many wells will lower the water table. b) Drilling many wells will speed up the water cycle. c) Drilling many wells will cause water to evaporate faster. d) Drilling many wells with prevent water from entering the ground. e) Drilling many wells will cause less water to flow into lakes and streams.
