Increased population: Demand of water has been increased by the increased population. ...
Increasing industries: All industries need water. ...
Lack of water conservation techniques: Main source of water on earth and for the underground water is rain.
Answer:
The factors responsible for the depletion of water table are as follows:
(i)Increasing population
As a result of increasing population, all the facilities such as houses, shops, roads, offices, pavements, etc. increase to fulfil the increasing demands. This, in turn, decreases the open area for seepage of water into the ground.
(ii)Increasing industries
Most of the stages of manufacturing processes in industries require water. If the number of industries increases, then the water required by them will also increase. Therefore, increase of industries contributes to the depletion of water table.
(iii)Agricultural activities
India is an agricultural country and agriculture is impossible without water. The water for agriculture is mainly utilised from ground water, rain water and canal water. As there is no rainfall in many places, agriculture cannot be entirely depended on rain water. Also, canal water is available in a few places only. Therefore, ground water is the main source of water for agricultural activities and this causes depletion of water table.
