Amelia and Brayden are working on a project to supply water to a city that is far from the nearest river. What is the primary function of aqueducts in their project?

• To store water underground

• To transport water over long distances

• To filter contaminated water

• To measure water flow rates

DaWane and Emma are digging in their backyard and notice that at a certain depth, water fills all spaces between soil and rock. What defines this zone?

• An area where water fills all spaces between soil and rock

• The surface of lakes and rivers

• The region where snow accumulates
