Which hydrological outcome is accelerated in regions underpinned by fractured limestone exhibiting substantial dissolution?

A)Increased aquifer recharge rates
B)Decreased surface water runoff
C)Enhanced sediment deposition rates
D)Reduced groundwater contamination risks

💡 Explanation

Increased aquifer recharge occurs because enhanced dissolution widens fractures via chemical weathering, facilitating greater water infiltration into subsurface aquifers; therefore recharge increases, rather than decreased runoff, which is limited by infiltration capacity.
