Wells are fed by- pond water
- lake water
- rain water
- groundwater
Correct answer: (d) groundwater
Explanation: Rainwater fills up lakes, ponds, rivers, and other water bodies. A part of the rainwater gets absorbed by the ground. Some of it is brought back to the air by evaporation and transpiration. The rest seeps into the ground and becomes available as groundwater. Wells are fed by this ground water.
