UPSC 2012: If National Water Mission is properly and completely implemented, how will it impact the country? 1. Part of the water needs of urban areas will be met through recycling of waste-water. 2. The water requirements of coastal cities with inadequate alternative sources of water will be met by adopting appropriate technologies that allow for the use of ocean water. 3. All the rivers of Himalayan origin will be linked to the rivers of peninsular India. 4. The expenses incurred by farmers for digging bore-wells and for installing motors and pump-sets to draw ground-water will be completely reimbursed by the Government. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
(a)1 only
(b)1 and 2 only
(c)3 and 4 only
(d)1, 2, 3 and 4
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1 and 2 only
The National Water Mission document explicitly states that (1) a considerable share of urban water demand should come from recycling of wastewater and (2) coastal cities lacking other sources should meet their needs through new desalination technologies that use ocean water. River-linking and government reimbursement of bore-well costs are nowhere envisaged, so statements 3 and 4 are incorrect. Hence only 1 and 2 are correct.
