Question

Today, in India hydrocclectric power contributes approximately 22 per cent of the total electricity produced. Moreover, multiplying urban centres with large and dense populations and urban lifestyles have not only added to water and energy requirements but have further aggravated the problem. If you look into the housing societies or colonies in the cities, you would find that most of these have their own groundwater pumping devices to meet their water needs.
Analyse the situation given above and choose the correct option. (a) Fragile water resources are being underused and have caused their depletion.
(b) Fragile water resources are being overexploited and have caused their increase in amount.
(c) Fragile water resources are being overexploited and have caused their depletion.
(d) Fragile water resources are being underused and have caused their increase in amount.

Answer:

the answer is i dont know

Answer 2

(c) Fragile water resources are being overexploited and have caused their depletion.

Explanation:

Multiplying urban centres with large and dense populations and urban lifestyles have not only added to water and energy requirements, but have further aggravated the problem. If you look into the housing societies or colonies in the cities, you would find that most of these have their own groundwater pumping devices to meet their water needs.

Fragile water resources like groundwater are overexploited and used extensively leading to the depletion of these water sources in densely populated urban locations.
