Question

the map shows the amount of groundwater (gw) in parts of pakistan. farmers in pakistan once relied on rivers and canals for their water supply but as cities expanded and populations grew, more farmers used groundwater for their crops. when this map was made, there were no laws restricting how many wells could be built in pakistan to remove groundwater. what would be the best solution to help pakistan conserve their water supply? a. increase the number of groundwater wells in all three regions. b. build more wells in region 3 and restrict building in all other regions. c. place less restricting well - building in region 1, but increase wells in regions 2 and 3. d. pass laws restricting all wells, with less restriction in region 1

Explanation:

To conserve water supply, regulations on well - building are needed. Region 1 likely has less groundwater (judging from the map color), so more restrictions there make sense while allowing some in other regions to balance water use and conservation.

Answer:

D. Pass laws restricting all wells, with less restrictions in Region 1
