Question
Give three reasons for the conservation of water resources.
Solution
Three reasons for the conservation of water resources are:
1. The uncertainty of Rainfall: In India, rainfall is highly irregular and uncertain. At times the monsoon arrives early and sometimes it comes too late. It also does not rain uniformly in all parts of the country. In such a situation, we cannot totally depend upon rainfall and thus need to conserve water.
2. Our population is increasing at a tremendous rate which may lead to the depletion of water resources at a fast pace. Thus water needs to be conserved.
3. Most of the water in rivers and other natural resources are getting polluted. The water not only needs to be conserved but also needs to be treated to meet the demands of the people and the farmers.
