Answer 2

Following are the important factors responsible for the water scarcity in India:-

1. Growing pollution:- Water scarcity is an outcome of large and growing pollution and consequent greater demands for water and unequal access to it.

2. Expansion of agriculture:- To facilitate higher foodgtrain production, water resources, are being over-exploited to expand irrigated areas and dry season agriculture.

3. Industrialisation:- Industries apart from being heavy users of water, also require power to run them. Much of this energy comes from hydroelectric power.

4. Urbanisation:- Multiplying urban centres with large and dense populations and urban life styles have not only added to water and energy requirements but have further aggravated the problems.

5. Pollution:- Much of water is polluted by domestic and industrial wastes, chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers used in agriculture thus making in unfit for human use.
