We can conserve groundwater by all of the below EXCEPT-

• Taking chemicals to hazardous waste disposal sites

• using less fertilizer and herbicides

• using impermeable materials for building

• using less water from the aquifer

Aquifers are habitat for unique aquatic organisms that require clean, clear, free flowing water. These ecosystems are predictable environments with constant temperature. How would drought affect these ecosystems?

• Increase temperature

• Decrease Spring flow

• increase carrying capacity

• decrease aerobic conditions
