Answer:

Increasing porosity and increasing permeability lead to increased production in an aquifer.

Explanation:

An aquifer is a body of rock / sediment that holds groundwater.

Porosity affects the amount of water a particular rock type can hold and depends on a couple of different factors such as how water circulates within the soil or ground.

The ability of the ground water to pass through the pore spaces in the rock is described as the rock's permeability.

Therefore, Increasing porosity and permeability will lead to increased production in an aquifer.

Answer:
Increasing porosity and increasing permeability lead to increased production in an aquifer.
