What main change occurs in groundwater from Bhabar toward Terai?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Groundwater reappears at the surface
In the Bhabar belt, river water percolates through highly porous deposits of pebbles and boulders. Farther south in the Terai, finer sediments and relatively lower permeability make this groundwater emerge again at the surface as springs and marshy water. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A is more closely associated with the Bhabar condition, not the Terai. Exam tip: rivers disappear in Bhabar and reappear in the marshy Terai belt.
