What does ponding refer to?

  1. Flooding of major rivers

  2. Collection of runoff in depressions

  3. Large scale agricultural irrigation

  4. Deforestation

The correct answer is: Collection of runoff in depressions

Ponding refers to the collection of runoff water in land depressions, such as small ponds or puddles. This option is correct because it accurately describes the process of ponding. Option A is incorrect because it refers to flooding of major rivers, which is a different phenomenon. Option C is incorrect because it refers to large-scale agricultural irrigation, which involves the controlled distribution of water for crops, not natural runoff collection. Option D is incorrect because it refers to deforestation, the process of cutting down trees, which has no connection to runoff water or land depressions.
