2. Read the passage given and Comment.
Though there has been an increase in urbanization, the necessity
of providing basic infrastructure that can support this growth is
missing. You require roads, drainage, electricity, water and other
public facilities. Government intervention is making some headway
in improving the urban infrastructure particularly those associated
with road transport. However, the provision of electricity, water
and health infrastructure is not sufficient. For poorer people in
the cities and towns this situation is even worse. (OR)b) Read the
passage given and comment. A village may have tanks, ponds, lakes.
These are all surface storages. Most villages in India draw water
from wells and tube wells. They are dependent on ground water
storage. These inflows and storage are connected. While some of the
water flowing in is used directly, one part of this is recharging
or replenishing the storage. Similarly, the use of tube wells draws
water from storages and lowers the water availability in them.
Depending on comparative rates of inflow and outflow we can judge
what is happening to the stock of water over many years. The
question that we face today is the depletion of ground water
storages and a tendency no to care about the availability for
future generations. 3. a) Observe the Pie diagrams given and
