Geography
Water Resources
जल संसाधन
In this Class 10 Geography chapter, students explore water as a vital natural resource and examine its uses in agriculture, industry, households, and ecosystems. They learn why water scarcity occurs, how population growth, urbanisation, pollution, and intensive irrigation affect availability, and how dams and multipurpose river projects support development while creating social and environmental concerns. The chapter also introduces practical approaches to conservation, including rainwater harvesting and sustainable water management.
