Question 1.
What is the definition of basin yield?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the timeframe and the context of water extraction.
Question 2.
What does safe yield ensure?
Show hintHide hint
Consider sustainability.
3Question 3.
What is basin yield?
- The amount of rainfall in a year
- The total water that can be extracted from a basin
