(ii) Increasing industries : All industries need water. As the number of human population increase, the number of industries is also increased which definitely increases the consumption of water.
(iii) Lack of water conservation techniques : Main source of water on earth and for the underground water is rain. The water of the rain, if conserved can increase the groundwater level. But this is not due to lack of water conservative techniques.
