Which of the following is the primary sector contributing to the dryness of old wells?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A lot of boring pumps have been set up in the adjacent areas.
The primary sector contributing to the dryness of old wells is a lot of boring pumps that have been set up in the adjacent areas. The increased use of bore wells for extracting groundwater reduces the water level in nearby traditional wells. Bore pumps access deeper groundwater, leading to a decline in the water levels of surface wells.
