Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep-well drilling for farms can deplete an aquifer fastest as it involves extracting large amounts of groundwater from underground reservoirs, leading to a decrease in water levels and depletion of the aquifer over time. Planting trees, using chlorofluorocarbons, and employing molybdenum-based fertilizers may have negative impacts on the environment, but they do not directly deplete aquifers.
