Answer 2

The factors responsible for the depletion of the water table are as follows:

Explanation:

• (i) Increase in population: The demand for water has increased with the increase in population. As the number of humans increases, so does the consumption of water.
• (ii) Growing Industries: All industries require water. As the number of human population increases, so does the number of industries which certainly increase the consumption of water.
• (iii) Lack of water conservation techniques: Rain is the main source of water on earth and for ground water. If rainwater is conserved, the groundwater level can rise. But it is not because of the lack of water conservation techniques.
• (iv) Agricultural activities: India is a country which is dependent on agriculture. The land used for farming has increased. Therefore, there has been an increase in the consumption of water for agriculture. Irregular rainfall has increased the consumption of groundwater. This has increased the erosion of groundwater.
