Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groundwater may undergo natural purification as it moves through soil and rock layers, which can filter out pollutants and pathogens, making it potentially cleaner than surface water. Groundwater is not inexhaustible (A is incorrect), it is often harder to locate and access than surface water (B is incorrect), and surface water is also a self-replenishing resource through the hydrological cycle (D is incorrect).
