Answer» We use under-ground water for domestic purposes, for industrial production purposes, for cleaning machines and for increase agricultural production, etc. We can protect the underground water in the following ways. 1. Dig the percolation tanks, 2. Rainwater harvesting pits. 3. Loose boulders. 4. Increasing vegetative cover. 5. Floods are often caused by a sudden increase in underground water. All the above methods we should recharge the underground water. So water levels don’t decrease over time. |
