What outcome arises where concentrated groundwater extraction accelerates cover subsidence sinkhole collapses?

A)Increased frequency of infrastructure damage
B)Enhanced purification of aquifer recharge
C)Decreased sedimentation in downstream drainage
D)Stabilization of subsurface geological structures

💡 Explanation

Increased infrastructure damage will occur because drawdown lowers water pressure, which elevates the effective stress, initiating particle rearrangement from suffosion leading to sinkholes; therefore, collapses damage infrastructure instead of purification, sedimentation, or stabilization, due to different mechanisms.
