Source-based Questions:
Question 1.
Read the following passage on ‘Groundwater in India’ given on Textbook Page 14
and then answer the questions that follow:
Groundwater in India: “Recent evidence suggests that the groundwater is under
serious threat of overuse in many parts of the country. About 300 districts
have reported a water level decline of over 4 metres during the past 20 years.
Nearly one- third of the country is overusing their groundwater reserves. In
another 25 years,60 per cent of the country would be doing the same if the
present way of using this resource continues. Groundwater overuse is
particularly found in the agriculturally prosperous regions of Punjab and
Western U.P., hard rock plateau areas of central and south India, some coastal
areas and the rapidly growing urban settlements.
(a) Why ground water is overused?
(b) Can there be development without overuse?
(i) Why is groundwater overused?
(ii) Can there be development without overuse?
Answer
Answer:
(i) Groundwater is used for the purpose of agriculture.
(ii) Yes. There can be development without the overuse of groundwater. Since
this natural resource is easily available, we don’t value it much and use it
recklessly for our selfish purposes. We must stop overusing it so that it
may be there for our future generations.
Question 2.
Read the following passage on ‘Exhaustion of Natural Resources’ given on
Textbook Page 15 and then answer the questions that follow:
Exhaustion of Natural Resources: Look at the following data for crude oil.
Table 1.7 Crude Oil Reserves
Source : BP Statistical Review of World Energy, June 2014
The table gives an estimate of reserves of crude oil (column 1). More important, it also tells us for how many years the stock of crude oil will last if people continue to extract it at the present rate. The reserves would last only 53 years more. This is for the world as a whole. However, different countries face different situations. Countries like India depend on importing oil from abroad because they do not have enough stocks of their own. If prices of oil increase this becomes a burden for everyone. There are countries like USA which have low reserves and hence want to secure oil through military or economic power. The question of sustainability of development raises many fundamentally new issues about the nature and process of development.
Questions:
(i) Is crude oil essential for the development process in a country?
Discuss.
(ii) India has to import crude oil. What problems do you anticipate for the
country looking at the above situation?
Answer
Answer:
(i) Yes, crude oil plays an important role in the development process in a
country. It can generate heat, drive machinery and fuel vehicle and
airplanes. Its components are used to manufacture almost all chemical
products, such as plastics, detergents, paints and even medicines.
(ii) The future is bleak because the reserves of oil would last only 53
years more. It is high time to think collectively. It will be in favour of
all.
