Question

What effect does development, through erecting buildings and concrete pavement, have on the recharge of aquifers and the quality of the water?

Answer 1

Infiltrate rate decreases and also water quality.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is adverse effect of erecting buildings and concrete pavement on the recharge of aquifers and the quality of the water because the water is unable to infiltrate inside the soil due to concrete floor and the recharging of aquifers is not possible. These buildings and concrete pavements also reduces the quality of water due to degradation of sediments present in the building with the passage of time.
