Question

A local farmer notices that the level of water in the pond behind his house has been going down. Temperatures have been very high in the area, but there are also a lot of animals on his farm that may be drinking the water. What is causing the water to go down?

Answer 1

There are to variables that seem to drain the water in the pond:

1. High temperatures: Water levels could go down because of evaporation due to high temperatures.

In conclusion, high temperatures are causing the water to go down.
