Conservation of Water Resources — Important Questions

Recharges groundwater, Reduces flood risk, Provides water for future use

Rainwater harvesting helps recharge groundwater, reduces flood risk by collecting excess water, and provides stored water for future use. It does not increase pollution or waste resources.

True

Rainwater recharges groundwater which feeds into rivers and streams, helping to maintain their flow throughout the year.

Large tanks, Cisterns, Reservoirs

Large tanks, cisterns, and reservoirs are storage structures used to collect and store rainwater. Bore wells are used to extract groundwater, not collect rainwater.

True

Trees help in water conservation by allowing water to percolate through their root systems and by reducing surface runoff. Cutting trees reduces this natural water absorption.
