Gujarat

Maharashtra

Tamil Nadu

Rajasthan

5 / 15

Analyze the relationship between multi-purpose dam projects and agricultural practices. Which statement represents the most comprehensive negative impact?

Reduced water availability for irrigation

Salinization of soil due to water-intensive commercial farming and changed cropping patterns

Increased cost of farming operations

Decreased agricultural productivity

6 / 15

What makes the traditional underground tanks of Rajasthan superior to modern water storage systems in terms of sustainability?

Better water quality and longer storage life

Natural temperature regulation, purity maintenance, and gravity-based operation

Higher storage capacity and better filtration

Lower construction costs and easier maintenance

7 / 15

III and IV only

I, II and III only

All of these factors working in combination

13 / 15

Which sequence correctly represents the chain of impacts caused by dam construction?

Water storage → Irrigation → Food security → Population growth

River fragmentation → Reduced sediment flow → Rocky stream beds → Poor aquatic habitats

Sedimentation → Flood control → Better agriculture → Economic growth

Flood control → Soil preservation → Enhanced biodiversity → Economic development

14 / 15

If a region implements PMKSY's "Per Drop More Crop" initiative effectively, which combination of outcomes is most likely?

Increased water usage, higher productivity, soil degradation

Better irrigation coverage, increased water wastage, higher yields

More water storage, increased chemical fertilizer use, better productivity

Higher crop yield, reduced water consumption, sustainable groundwater levels

15 / 15

Which combination of factors would most effectively address India's water crisis?

Only building more dams and reservoirs

Implementing strict water usage regulations

Integration of traditional methods, modern technology, community participation, and policy reforms

Focusing solely on rainwater harvesting
