(iv) Transportation
Answers
Answer:
iv transportation
Explanation:
growing population would lead to increase of the water uses so I think it will lead to depletion of water table
agricultural activities need water to go crops in the fields so I think it will lead to depletion of water table as well
industries would need water to increase the productivity and the use water as raw material
so transportation would need either petrol or diesel or some other natural resources but not water so I think it will not deplete the water table
so option 4 is a right answer

Increased population, Increased industries
Explanation:
Various factors responsible for the depletion of water table are: 1) Increased population: Demand of water has been increased by the increased population. As the number of humans increase, the consumption of water also increases. 2) Increasing industries: All industries need water.
