Question

Explain how increasing population is responsible for depletion of water table. (please help me within a week and also I need to submit it in a powerpoint so please help me)

Answer 1

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.

Increaseing population creates demand for construction of houses, shops, offices, roads and pavements. So, the increasing population ends up consuming more groundwater as well as allowing lesser water to seep into the ground. This results in depletion of water table.
