Question 2

The water table always loses water when it is intersected by a stream bed that has eroded to that level. Evaluate this statement.

A) It is true. Water from the water table seeps into the stream and moves downstream.
B) It is partially true. When it rains, the water table gains water through the streambed.
C) It is false. Stream beds cannot erode enough to reach the water table unless there is an existing spring.
D) It is false. Streams receive their water by runoff of precipitation and, in fact, supply water to the water table.
