Answer:

No

Explanation:

A renewable resource is one in which the rate at which its being replenished is higher than the rate at which it is being used up.

For example, the air we breathe is a renewable resource because it doesn't get used up as we draw it.

  • If the rate of drawing down a ground water supply exceeds the rate of its recharge, then such a water source is non-renewable.
