Question

write a short note on the water resources of india​

Answer 1

Answer:Water is one of the most precious resources the earth provides to mankind. Its use in modern age is manifold. We drink water to satisfy our thirst. We use it for domestic  needs, irrigation, industrial use, transportation, power production and waste disposal. Water is universal solvent.

Thanks to our nature; it is very rich in water, About three fourth of the earth's surface is covered with water. But only a small portion of total water resources is actually available for human use. Majority, about 97.3% water is present in oceans and is salty in nature.

The fresh water constitute only 2.7%. Out of this inland' surface waters i.e lakes, rivers and ponds account for hardly 0.02%. This relatively negligible portion of the earth' s water is crucially important to all forms of terrestrial and freshwater aquatic life. We get mainly from three sources:

1. Rain water- Rain water is primary source of all waters. It is the purest form of water.

2. Surface water-  Impounding rivers, ponds, tanks and lakes.

3. Groundwater- Shallow wells, deep wells and springs.
