Groundwater will not be depleted due to

(a) afforestation

(b) thermal power plants

(c) loss of forest, and decreased rainfall

(d) cropping of high water demanding crops

Answers (1)

  • Afforestation means the plantation of trees. Groundwater will not be depleted due to afforestation. Trees stabilise groundwater by binding soil particles and preventing erosion, thereby assisting in maintaining the water table.
  • Thermal power plants pollute the groundwater.
  • Loss of forest and decreased rainfall also pollute the groundwater.
  • Most of the groundwater is polluted due to the use of excess water for cropping of high water-demanding crops.

Hence, option (a) is correct.
