Which outcome rapidly increases when fractured cave limestone collapses?

💡 Explanation

Karst aquifers become more vulnerable as fracture density increases in overlying collapsed material, which facilitates rapid, direct hydrological connections. Because this occurs via increased conduit flow, contaminants bypass natural filtration; therefore, water contamination increases rather than better water quality.
