Answers
Explanation:
1.) The difference in ground water and surface water is as follows:
Ground water is the water which is there underground in large aquifers and is extracted by using drilling deep wells or using motors or bore wells to dig out waters, whereas,
Surface waters is the water available in lakes, ponds and sea and used directly for various purposes and need not be extracted by any ways.
The ground water is available in sub-surface layer of the soil and it is to be extracted.
2.)Water table: The top level of the water under which the ground is saturated with water is called the water table.
3.) The monsoon delivers about 70% of India's annual rainfall and determines the yield of rice, wheat, sugarcane and oilseeds, such as soybeans.Normal rainfall is essential for adequate agricultural output. In a large country like India, it is essential to maintain the food prices. Food inflation may destabilize the entire nation. The food prices depend upon the agricultural output.
4.Forests transport large quantities of
water into the atmosphere via plant
transpiration. When deforestation occurs,
precious rain is lost from the area,
flowing away as river water and causing
permanent drying.
5.)Plants need water for absorbing nutrients from the soil for photosynthesis.
Plants wilt and become dry in the absence of water.In the absence of water, plants may die and oxygen released by the plants may get depleted and thus causing the death of all organisms
