Answer 2

Explanation:

India is often called a thirsty country in spite of being rich resources because;

• The main source of water i.e. the groundwater is over exploited and hence it becomes scarce in no time.  

• In states like western UP, Punjab, and Haryana where the green revolution had brought about immense change in the Indian agriculture sector, water is wasted for irrigation purposes.

• Another reason is the rise of industries which leads to pollution of water and this in turn leads to scarcity.
