Question 1 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113

Which statement best describes how humans obtain groundwater?

Answer
A
They use water that erupted from a geyser.
B
They dig a well and pump out the water.
C
They wait for the formation of a spring.
D
They collect running water from artesian wells.

Explanation

Groundwater is water stored beneath Earth’s surface in soil and rock. People commonly reach it by digging or drilling a well and pumping the water to the surface. A geyser erupts naturally, and a spring forms where groundwater flows out on its own; neither describes the usual way people obtain groundwater.
