उत्तर

The primary and secondary sectors manufacture items, whereas the tertiary sector does not create or manufacture goods but does provide services. The activities of the tertiary sector contribute to the development of the primary and secondary sectors. For example, the tertiary sector transports items produced in the primary and secondary sectors from one location to another via trucks and trains before selling them in the market, among other things. Banks, telephones, and insurance companies are required for both primary and secondary sector activity. All of these are instances from the tertiary sector. Thus, the tertiary sector provides services that support the growth of basic and secondary sector operations.

Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow:

Maharashtra is a state located in western India, with a population of over 110 million people. The state is home to several large cities, including Mumbai, and has a significant agricultural sector. However, the state is facing a severe water crisis, with its water resources coming under increasing pressure due to climate change, industrialization, and urbanization. The main challenges faced by water resource management in Maharashtra are:

  1. Overexploitation of groundwater: Maharashtra is one of the most groundwater-stressed states in India, with the demand for water exceeding the supply. Overexploitation of groundwater for agriculture and urban use has led to a decline in water levels, which has severe implications for the sustainability of water resources.
  2. Pollution of surface water: Industrialization and urbanization have led to the pollution of surface water bodies such as rivers and lakes. The pollution has led to water quality degradation, which poses risks to human health and the environment.
  3. Inefficient irrigation practices: The agricultural sector is the largest user of water in Maharashtra, accounting for around 80% of total water use. However, traditional irrigation practices such as flood irrigation are inefficient and lead to the wastage of water.
  1. Mention any two reasons for the water crisis faced by the state of Maharashtra.
  2. Propose any one solution to mitigate the water crisis faced by Maharashtra state.
  3. Despite being the second highest rainfall-receiving state of the country, Maharashtra still faces water crisis. Substantiate this statement in 40 words.
