Answer:

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

1. Increasing-Population: Increase in population results in an increase in demand for water. The overpopulation leads to the construction of houses, roads, gardens and thus, in turn, decreases the open area for the seepage of water into the ground.

2. Industrialization: No doubt, industrialization has provided employment but it has also lead to a shortage of resources such as water. There is an increase in the utilization of water in industries. Thus leading to depletion of the water table.

3. Agricultural Activities:

India is an agricultural country and agriculture is generally done through the usage of groundwater during the period of no rainfall and therefore, causing the depletion of the water table.

Answer: ⤵️

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

(i)Increasing population:⤵️

As a result of increasing population, all the facilities such as houses, shops, roads, offices, pavements, etc. increase to fulfil the increasing demands. This, in turn, decreases the open area for seepage of water into the ground.

(ii)Increasing industries:⤵️

Most of the stages of manufacturing processes in industries require water. If the number of industries increases, then the water required by them will also increase. Therefore, increase of industries contributes to the depletion of water table.

(iii)Agricultural activities:⤵️

India is an agricultural country and agriculture is impossible without water. The water for agriculture is mainly utilised from ground water, rain water and canal water. As there is no rainfall in many places, agriculture cannot be entirely depended on rain water. Also, canal water is available in a few places only. Therefore, ground water is the main source of water for agricultural activities and this causes depletion of water table.
