Question

Explain three reasons responsible for water scarcity in India

Answer 1

India witnessed industrialisation after independence. The establishment of large industrial houses and an increasing number of industries has exerted tremendous pressure on the fresh water resources.

2. An increase in the number of urban centres with dense population has also exerted pressure on water resources. Many houses and societies have independent water-boring devices which have lowered the water table.

3. The deterioration of the quality of water due to industrial and domestic wastes has resulted in the scarcity of water in India.

4. The failure of people in realising the importance of rainwater harvesting has also made water a scarce commodity. Through the methods of rainwater harvesting, the demand of water can be met and groundwater can be recharged

reasons responsible for water scarcity are:-

• Industrialization- industrial wastes, chemicals are washed off in water bodies and pollute them

• Urbanization- because of this water table is unable to enrich and ground water is depleting.
• Population-                                                                                                               misuse of water for domestic purposes like washing clothes,etc          

        over population more fresh water is needed Deforestation  

• Global warming - glaciers are melting day by day

• Pollution- during ganesh visarjan water is polluted  

• Low rainfall

• Unequal distribution-north-eastern states enjoy more water as rainfall is more but in north-western states enjoy less water becoz it is water scarse area.

• Rich people have more access to water than poors.
