Question

What is the primary reason for the uneven distribution of water resources in India?

Options

• Overuse of water resources.

• Unequal geographical rainfall patterns.

• Lack of rivers in the southern states.

• High industrial water demand.

Answer 1

Unequal geographical rainfall patterns.

Explanation:

The fundamental cause of uneven distribution of water resources in India is volatility in rainfall. Some places, such as the North-East, receive a lot of rain, while others, like Rajasthan, receive relatively little, resulting in unequal availability of water resources across the country.
