Question

What are some of the major impacts of early electrification?

• A. Transformation in the system of irrigation
• B. Adverse impact on water table
• C. Establishment of heavy industries
• D. Set up of tube wells by the farmers for irrigation

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Set up of tube wells by the farmers for irrigation

The electrification of a village helps in the transformation of the irrigation system. It helps in setting up tube wells and other small industries. However, villages do not have heavy industries and so, they cannot benefit much from electrification. Also, improvement in irrigation facilities adversely impacts the water table.
