What is hydrological cycle? What is its importance ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The cycle of water moving around the planet, known as the hydrological cycle, involves water continuously traveling in different ways\u2014like rain, rivers, and underground. Our main sources of fresh water come from rain that flows over the land and from groundwater that gets refilled in this ongoing cycle. Essentially, it&#8217;s all about water constantly circulating through this cycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.2. How has agriculture aggravated the problem of water scarcity in India ? Explain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(i) Water is a basic input in agriculture. It is used for irrigation.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) HYV seeds needs more water as compared to traditional seeds.<\/p>\n<p>(iii) Commercialization of agriculture has also lead to withdrawal of groundwater at a large scale.<\/p>\n<p>(iv) Overuse of groundwater is another problem associated with agriculture. The water table has lowered in many parts of India due to its overuse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Also Check: <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/cbse\/cbse-syllabus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBSE Syllabus Class 1 to 12<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.3. \u201cWater scarcity may be an outcome of large and growing population\u201d.

What are dams? How do these help to conserve and manage water ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. A dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the flow often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundment.<\/p>\n<p>(i) Dams were traditionally built to impound rivers and rainwater that could be used later to irrigate agricultural fields.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) Dams are also source of perennial canals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Also Check: <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/cbse\/cbse-exam-date-sheet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBSE Board Exam Date Sheet 2024<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.9.Distinguish between a dam and a multipurpose project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15949\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/water-resources-geography-cbse-class-10-saq-9.png\" alt=\"water-resources-geography-cbse-class-10-saq-9\" width=\"691\" height=\"529\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.10.Who proclaimed the dams as the temples of modern India ? Give reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/biography\/jawaharlal-nehru-biography\/\"><strong>Jawaharlal Nehru<\/strong><\/a> proudly proclaimed the dams as the \u2018temples of modem India\u2019; the reason being that it would integrate development of agriculture and the village economy with rapid industrialisation and growth of the urban economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.11.\u2018Multipurpose projects and large dams have also been the cause of many social movement\u2019. Name any two such movements. Why these movements were launched ?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> Multipurpose projects and large dams have also been the cause of many new social movements like the \u2018Narmada Bachao Andolan\u2019 and \u2018Tehri Dam Andolan\u2019 etc. Resistance to these projects has primarily been due to the large \u2013 scale displacement of local communities. Local people often had to give up their land, livelihood and their meagre access and control over resources for the greater good of the nation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.12. How do the dams create conflicts <\/strong><strong>between the people ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(i) The dams have created conflicts between people wanting different uses and benefits from the same water resources.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) Inter-state water disputes are becoming common with regard to sharing the costs and benefits of the Projects.<\/p>\n<p>(iii) The landowners, the rich farmers, industrialists and urban centres are benefitting at the cost of local communities.<\/p>\n<p>In Gujarat, the Sabarmati \u2013 basin farmers were agitated and almost caused a riot over the higher priority given to water supply in urban areas, particularly during droughts. Inter \u2013 state water disputes are also becoming common with regard to sharing the costs and benefits of the multipurpose project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.13. How has irrigation changed the cropping pattern? What is its impact on the social landscape?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Due to irrigation facilities many farmers have shifted to water intensive and commercial crops. For example, Punjab has become major producer of rice inspite of low rainfall.<br \/>\nImpact on social landscape:- This transformation has widens the gap between rich and poor. The rich and mighty who can afford higher inputs has become more rich whereas the poor have failed to get benefit due to lack of capital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.14. Explain three ways in which irrigation schemes have changed the social landscape of the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(i) Displacement of the local people : Local people often had to give up their land, livelihood and their meagre access and control over resources for the greater good of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) Social movements : Multipurpose projects and large dams have also been the cause of many new social movements like the \u2018Narmada Bachao Andolan\u2019 and the \u2018Tehri Dam Andolan\u2019, etc.<\/p>\n<p>(iii) Widening the gap between rich and poor : Multipurpose projects have widened the gap between rich and poor. The landlords, large farmers and industrialist are getting benefit at the cost of poor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.15. \u201cMultipurpose projects have failed to achieve the purpose for which they were built\u201d. Justify by giving reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(i) These dams were constructed to control floods but they have triggered floods due to sedimentation in the reservoir.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) Moreover, the big dams have mostly been unsuccessful in controlling floods at the time of excessive rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>(iii) Many a time authorities are forced to release water from dams during heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.16. What is rainwater harvesting ? What is its importance ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> It is a technique of increasing the recharge of ground water by capturing and storing rainwater by constructing structures such as percolating pits, check dams, etc.<br \/>\nImportance:-<\/p>\n<p>(i) Rainwater harvesting is the need of hour as demand for water is increasing day by day.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) Rainwater harvesting reduces pressure on existing water resources.<\/p>\n<p>(iii) It is cheap source of water supply.<\/p>\n<p>(iv) It helps in recharging groundwater.<\/p>\n<p>(v) The rainwater store is extremely reliable source of drinking water when all other sources are dried up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.17. (i) What is a multipurpose project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(ii) Why did Pandit Jawahar Lai Nehru proclaim the river dams as the \u2018Temples of Modem India?\u2019 Explain the main reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(i) A multipurpose project is that which fulfils a variety of purposes at the same time, for example \u2013 irrigation, generation of electricity, flood control, fish breeding, soil conservation, etc.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) It would integrate development of agriculture and the village economy with rapid industrialisation and the growth of urban economy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"card\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/online-courses-cbse-class-10?utm_source=surge&amp;utm_medium=interlinking\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazyloaded\" style=\"width: 843px; border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Foundation-Image.jpg\" alt=\"class 10 cbse foundation course\" width=\"1201\" height=\"406\" data-src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Foundation-Image.jpg\" \/><\/a><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/online-courses-cbse-class-10?utm_source=surge&amp;utm_medium=interlinking\"><br \/>\n<button><strong>Class 10 CBSE Foundation Online Course<\/strong><\/button><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">The Class 10 CBSE Foundation Course is designed to be the most competitive educational program in India, providing an exceptional online learning experience.

Why are different water harvesting systems considered a viable alternative both socio economically and environmentally in a country like India?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(i) Water harvesting is a very cheap and affordable method of conservation of water.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) Indian people have in-depth knowledge of rainfall regime and soil type. They have developed techniques to harvest rainwater, groundwater, rain water and flood water in keeping with the local ecological conditions and their water needs.<\/p>\n<p>(iii) Rainwater harvesting techniques are more environmental friendly as compare to multipurpose river projects.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Resources_SAQ_Geography_CBSE_Class_10_FAQs\"><\/span>Water Resources SAQ Geography CBSE Class 10 FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t<section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_water_resources_for_Class_10_CBSE\"><\/span>What are water resources for Class 10 CBSE?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThree fourth of the earth is covered with water, but only 2.5 per cent out of the total water volume exists as freshwater.
