← GeographyInto which feature does a confined aquifer discharge?
A)Groundwater-fed lake surface elevation rises✓
B)Increased stream sediment deposition forms deltas
C)Artesian well pressure quickly diminishes
D)Impermeable clay layer becomes more porous
💡 Explanation
A groundwater-fed lake see's increasing surface elevation because of groundwater discharge and hydraulic head overcoming resistance, a process called the potentiometric surface. Therefore, elevation rises, rather than sediment accumulation, due to decreased velocity.
