Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The water in most of the region is generally pumped out of the ground for the purpose of irrigation. This rate of pumping is much higher than the rate of replenishment. The over-pumping of water leads to the lowering of the water table

About 60 to 70% of the water that is used for irrigation purposes does not reach the crop. It is because the water most of the time gets percolated down into the deeper zones. In addition to this, the water also leaks through the fractures that are associated with the canals and increasing rate of evaporation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
