As urbanization increases and natural soil surfaces are covered the groundwater supply is reduced due to?
increased surface runoff and reduced infiltration of water into the ground. This can lead to decreased groundwater recharge, which impacts the overall supply of groundwater. Additionally, increased urbanization can introduce pollutants into the environment, further impacting the quality of groundwater.

What percent of the land on Earth is covered by roads?
Approximately 1% of the Earth's land surface is covered by roads. This percentage varies by region and is influenced by factors such as urbanization and population density.
Where is all of the water on or near earths surface?
Most of earth's surface water is in the oceans. The second largest bodies are the polar ice caps. Groundwater (water below the surface) exceeds that in all earth's freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams--which account for the remainder of earth's surface water.
What is it when water is stored underground in caverns or porous rock?
That's called an "aquifer" if it's naturally-occurring. But a "cistern" is a man-made with a waterproof lining. If it's a really big cistern, it's a "covered reservoir".
What percentage of Earth makes up the hydrosphere?
75% of the Earth's surface makes up the hydrosphere.
How does the structure of an area affect the amount of runoff?
Runoff increase with lack of permeability, rake of the surface and flames of the surface.Imagine an area which is perfectly smooth, tilted at a steep angle and covered with teflon. Water sprayed on it will run off almost immediately. This is the worse\t case.Now imagine:The same area covered with sponge rubber will absorb and retain waterThe same area flat to the ground will retain sone waterThe same area - flat to the ground - who's surface is pocked and irregular will have pooled or retained water.The same area in any position but covered with porous material (cloth for example) will allow water to pass through the surface to be trapped belowThe same area covered with plants will retain water (spongy) absorb water into the plants and evaporate it.
What percent of the world is covered in asphalt?
Estimates suggest that around 1% of the Earth's land surface is covered by asphalt or other forms of impervious surfaces such as concrete. This percentage is expected to increase as urbanization and infrastructure development continue.
Is mercury and the moon covered with craters on the surfaces?
Yes, Mercury and the Earth's moon are covered with craters on the surfaces
What is the Canada shield covered by?
Too much of it is covered by Urbanization. That which isn't is covered by trees, lakes, marshes and other flora and fauna.
Why are groundwater fluids emerging from great lakes sinkholes salty?
groundwater interacts with salt deposits that are the remnants of ancient oceans that once covered Michigan
The internal and external surfaces of the body are covered by?
The internal surfaces such as inside blood vessels and lymph nodes are covered by endothelium and the external surfaces are covered by epithelium. "Epithelial tissues line the cavities and surfaces of structures throughout the body, and also form many glands." (Wikipedia)
What is an area of land that is covered by water or that is saturated with surface water or groundwater for long periods?
Wetlands
How flooding problems are getting worse with increased development?
Developed land that is covered with buildings does not absorb water. Development increases problems with chemical runoff. Houses and businesses that have lawns, for example, may use pesticides or fertilizers on their grass that runs off into the groundwater.
What region is covered in grasslands?
Great Plains, it is covered in DRY grasslands and has land that increases towards the Rockies.
Does rough surfaces exert greater friction?
Yes. Think about two steep hills. One is covered in ice (smooth). The other is covered in sandpaper (rough). The ice covered hill would be MUCH easier to slide down. Thus, the friction is much LESS, on a SMOOTH SURFACE. Then the opposite must be true, that friction is GREATER on a ROUGH SURFACE.
On what surfaces can you iron?
You can iron on surfaces that are heat-resistant and flat, such as an ironing board, a table covered with a thick towel, or a flat countertop. Avoid ironing on surfaces that can melt or catch fire, like plastic or wood.
ARE THE lumen surfaces of the tubule cells within the proximal convoluted tubule are covered with micro villi?
yes
In symphysis joints the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with?
In symphysis joints, the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. The fibrocartilage acts as a shock absorber and provides stability to the joint while the hyaline cartilage allows for smooth movement between the bones.
