J) Write six reasons of depletion of water table?
Answers
Answer:
Explain the causes of depletion of the water table.
- Due to rise in population.
- Increase in agriculture.
- Increase in industrialization.
- Deforestation.
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.
(iii)Agricultural activities
India is an agricultural country and agriculture is impossible without water. The water for agriculture is mainly utilised from ground water, rain water and canal water. As there is no rainfall in many places, agriculture cannot be entirely depended on rain water. Also, canal water is available in a few places only. Therefore, ground water is the main source of water for agricultural activities and this causes depletion of water table.
