ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST HELP ASAP A watershed, also known as a drainage basin, is an area of land where the water drains to a central point like a lake, river, or an ocean. Natural vegetation in the landscape, helps maintain the natural flow regime of water and rapid changes in water levels in lakes and wetlands. Imagine a portion of a wetland that has changed as seen in the image . Predict what will happen to the natural flow of water as natural vegetation is replaced by impervious surfaces.

Groundwater flow will increase to its end point causing flooding.

Runoff will increase and less water will penetrate the soil to become groundwater.

Ground water will puddle up and remain in one place instead of flowing to a central point.

Impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots will divert water flow and it will not reach its end point.
