increasing pollution : as a result of increasing population, all the facilities such as houses,shops,roads,offices,pavements,etc. increase to fulfill the increasing demands this,in turn decrease the open area for seepage of water in the ground
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.
