Question

(viii) Out of these, which is not a source of surface water?
(a) rain water
(b) river and lake water
(c) Spring water
(d) sea water

Answer 1

Answer:

Spring water is the answer

Answer 2

The one which is not the source of surface water is rainwater (option a).

• A surface water body is one that is located above the ground. Natural water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and seawater, as well as spring water and artificially created water springs, are included.
• Rainwater is the water that falls to Earth through the process of precipitation as a result of clouds' condensation.
• Rainwater soaks or sweeps into the ground and creates an underground water source.
• As a result, rainwater is not a source of surface water, whereas other examples are surface water sources.
