D) Groundwater is more easily, located than surface water.
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] The current population of the world is using water at an alarming rate, and nature cannot keep up. Of the Earth's water, 97% is salt water and 3% is fresh water, but of that 3%, only 0.003% is available for human consumption.

This is why groundwater replenishment programs are very important to the survival of the Earth and all of its inhabitants.
