Question
Why is conservation and management of water resources essential in India? State any three reasons.
Solution
The conservation and management of water, is necessary, in India due to the following reasons:
(i) The water resources are depleting as compared to constant increase in population because the amount of precipitation declines very sharply and the fast shrinkage of glaciers due to global warming.
(ii) The intensive agriculture and rapid industrialisation requires more water, hence conservation of water is of utmost importance.
(iii) Due to the increasing population growth and urbanisation, there is more demand of water and the fast rate of depletion of groundwater makes one more aware about the conservation of water resources.
