How have the growing industrialisation and urbanisation led to water scarcity explain |
|
Answer» The ever increasing number of industries has made matter worse by exerting pressure on the existing freshwater resources. Industries need power which is produced from water. The power is produced by the multipurpose projects. Chemicals and gases released by industries also pollutes the water. Modern lifestyle of the urban people has created more demand for water both for domestic purposes and increased consumption of energy. In housing colonies to meet the needs of population, water resources are over-exploited resulting in depletion of ground water resources. |
