Answer 1

Dear student

Urbanisation is a process in which most of the people are moving from rural areas to urban areas due to which population density of cities is becoming high. Roads, houses and buildings made up of concrete are constructed, this concrete material do not allow water to abe soaked in ground which is decreasing water level of these areas. People are cutting down trees and vegetation in order to buit their houses and buildings for their business and personal use which is major cause of deforestation. Moreover, people are building industries, factories etc. Chemicals released from these industries are polluting pure water which makes it unsuitable for drinking.
