Answer:
Explanation:
Water Shortage due to Excessive Sand mining in rivers is the answer
The answer to the above question is as follows :
1) Instream mining affects the water quality of rivers by enhancing the turbidity level.
- All other parameters increase as turbidity increases.
- Unsustainable sand mining can result in riverbank collapse
- River flow causes soil erosion.
- Sand mining lowers the riverbed thereby it affects the physical and biological environments of the river.
2) The volume of groundwater in storage is decreasing.
- Groundwater supplies many of the hydrologic needs of common people.
- Groundwater depletion is caused by sustained groundwater pumping.
- To restore groundwater we can try certain things: rooftop rainwater harvesting, modern water harvesting techniques can also help, and we can grow more trees as they hold water and allow seep.
