Question 1
As per a recent study, India could lose groundwater by 3 times the current rate by which year?

A
2030

B
2050

C
2075

D
2080

India could lose groundwater by 3 times the current rate by 2080.\nAs per a recent study, if Indian farmers continue to draw groundwater at the current rate, the rate of groundwater depletion could triple by 2080, threatening the country's food and water security.\nThe study, led by the University of Michigan in the US, found that a warming climate has forced farmers in India to adapt by speeding up the withdrawal of groundwater used for irrigation.\nThe study published in the journal Science Advances said that as a result, reduced water availability could threaten the livelihoods of more than a third of the country's 1.4 billion inhabitants and can have global implications.\nThis is a matter of concern, given that India is the largest consumer of groundwater in the world and a vital region for regional and global food supplies.\nThe study analyzed recent changes in withdrawal rates due to warming by looking at historical data on groundwater levels, climate, and crop water stress to estimate future rates of groundwater loss across India.\nHence, (d) is the correct answer.
