The amounts of evaporation, groundwater recharge, and surface runoff differ among the different climate regions. Referring to the percentages given in the table, use the following dropdown menus to rank the variability of each component, from lowest to highest. Surface runoff < Groundwater recharge ▼ < Surface runoff Given these data, you can conclude that freshwater from precipitation is distributed unevenly v in the world. Which climate region will likely suffer the least with increasing freshwater shortages? O Arid regions Semiarid regions O Temperate regions
