- B. Industry
- C. In making dams
- D. Irrigation and industry
Explanation: Most freshwater withdrawals are used for agriculture, especially irrigation, with industry accounting for much of the remainder; domestic…
Correct answer: Irrigation and industry- A. Erosion and trampling by animals
- B. Poor agricultural practices and excessive water
- C. Over-grazing and extensive ploughing
- D. Erosion, poor agricultural practices and over grazing
Explanation: Land is abused when human activities or their consequences degrade it, including erosion, unsuitable farming practices and overgrazing.
Correct answer: Erosion, poor agricultural practices and over grazing- A. Construction of canals
- B. Construction of bridges
- C. Rapid urbanization
- D. Erosion
Explanation: Rapid urbanization converts agricultural or natural land to built-up surfaces and often causes unplanned land-use change.
