How can a river help in groundwater recharge in nearby areas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: River water can percolate into the ground and fill aquifers

The direct answer is A, river water can percolate into the ground and fill aquifers. Groundwater recharge occurs when some water moves downward through spaces and cracks in soil and rock. If the riverbed and nearby land are permeable, river water may seep into underground water-bearing layers called aquifers. This can raise groundwater levels, although the amount depends on soil, rock, season, pollution, and extraction. Option A is correct because it describes infiltration and aquifer recharge. Option B confuses possible evaporation with the whole process and says “always,” so it is false. Option C is wrong because water does not necessarily make soil completely impermeable. Option D is wrong because rivers flow on land and may reach the sea; they do not exist only in the sea. Memory cue: seep down, fill aquifer, recharge groundwater.
