Answer:

A recharge area is the place where water is able to seep into the ground and refill an aquifer because no confining layer is present. Recharge areas are necessary for a healthy aquifer.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The recharge area of an aquifer refers to the region where the aquifer comes in contact with the water surface. At this region, the aquifer gets fresh and new water reserves from the surface, therefore, restoring the water, which is lost.  

The majority of this water comes from the runoff and rainfall, however, streams and rivers can also take part in it. The replenishing of the aquifer is important for its survival, as it loses water spontaneously.
