Answers
Answer:
26 . ans - a. at many places water is supplied through pipes by the water supply department. in where by the way a of supplied water we can see mis management of water like example, some of the places are leaking through which water is gushes out it is our duty to call the water supply department and fixed it quickly . sometime dirty water also mixed with drinking water through the leaked part of pipe it is also a part of mismanagement of water supply department
b. all of us knowingly and unknowingly waste a lot of water while brushing teeth, cleaning utensils, taking bath, uses of water at the toilet etc
27 . the two steps which can be taken for proper management of water are
a. Rainwater harvesting - one way of increasing the availability of water from it shortage is rainwater harvesting . by making rainwater seep into the ground more efficiently . by constructing percolation pits and recharge well so as to recharge groundwater this water can be pumped out in the time of water needed.
b. Drip irrigation - this is an another process for proper management of water. drip irrigation is a technique of watering plants by making use of a system of narrow pipes or tubes with small holes which deliver water directly to the base of the plants drip irrigation process gives water directly to the root zone of plant and it will also pour water slowly which will benefecial for absorbing water of plants and it will also pour water slowly which will benefecial for absorbing water of plants without any wastage.
28. increasing population is responsible for depletion of water table:
as a result of increasing population all the facilities such as houses, shops, roads, office, pavements, industries , agricultural activities etc . increase to fulfill the increasing demand this in turn decreases the open area for seepage of water into the ground.
29 . increasing industrial activities are causing the depletion of water table:-
there are lots of industries in the world which are are produce various things for our needed every industries use water at same stage during manufacturing or producing time as the population increases the demand for various industrial goods are also increased that's why the number of industries are also increase water used by the most of industries are pumped out from the ground as the number of industries are increasing the use of water is also increasing which are causing the depletion of water table.
30. agricultural activities responsible for depletion of water table:-
A majority of farmers in India depend upon rains for irrigating their crops . irrigation system such as reservoirs , dams exit in some places but this irrigation system get water from rainwater but at the time of irregular rainfall all those farmers pumps the ground water for irrigation their crops as the population increases the demand of agricultural food is also increase for fulfilling those a lot of demand agricultural activity are increased and the use of groundwater is also increase this are the depletion of water table.
