In English (Question & Model Answer)
With reference to the above passage, which of the following could be the most rational and practical implications for India?
1. Inter-linking of rivers should be undertaken.
2. A network of dams and canals should be built across the country for proper distribution of water.
3. Farmers should be provided easy loans for digging borewells.
4. Usage of water for agriculture should be regulated by law.
5. Distribution of river water among regions should be regulated by the Union Government.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Correct Option: (a) 1 and 2
The passage highlights the seasonal and spatial distribution of monsoon flows, freshwater availability during a few months, and the necessity of holding rainwater in reservoirs. It laments that millions suffer from droughts and floods while river water flows unutilized into the sea. Rational implications for India include: 1. Inter-linking of rivers to transfer surplus water to deficit regions, and 2. Building a network of dams and canals for proper distribution and storage. Statement 3 (loans for borewells) depletes groundwater and contradicts surface water storage needs. Statement 4 (regulating agricultural water usage by law) and Statement 5 (Union Government regulation of river water among regions) are either too restrictive, legally impractical, or beyond the direct scope of the passage's emphasis on infrastructure and storage. Thus, 1 and 2 are the most rational and practical implications. Option (a) is correct.
