Question
- A. Water conservation
- B. Groundwater management
- C. Increased water abstraction
- D. Recycling
Answer
The correct answer is Increased water abstraction.
Explanation
The correct option is Increased water abstraction. Increased water abstraction is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain sustainable water strategies including water conservation, groundwater management, recycling and grey water. This belongs to Water (optional route) within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Water (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Grey Water
Students often confuse grey water with black water, thinking both are the same type of wastewater.
Clarify that grey water is wastewater from sinks, showers, and washing machines, while black water comes from toilets and contains harmful pathogens.
