Answer 1

The factors responsible for depletion of water table are :
1. Deforestation due to which plants that hold the ground water through their roots are lost.
2. Urbanisation also causes depletion of water table as construction of roads and buildings lead to reduction of the water table.
3. Rise in population also leads to depletion of water table due to increased consumption of water.
