Conservation of water - class-V
Learn about water conservation, rainwater harvesting techniques, and understanding water scarcity for Class 5 students.
Questions
How is water conserved when evaporation is reduced?
- Low temperature
- Low wind speed
- Both (A) and (B)
- High temperature
Which one is not a beneficial effect of water conservation?
- Reduction in water loss
- Reduction in water fall
- Reduction in waste of resources
- All of the above
The component of rainwater harvesting system is
- Conduits
- Dam
- Lake
- None of the above
Identify the types of rainwater harvesting method.
- Roof top
- Run off
- Dam
- Both A and B
Water contains impurities during
- Evapo-transpiration
- Condensation
- Transpiration
- Filtration
Water scarcity is caused due to:
- population growth
- water cycle
- non-melting of snow
- rain fall
Under or non-availability of usable water is called:
- purification of water
- pollution of water
- rationing of water
- scarcity of water
Which of the following techniques are used for rainwater harvesting?
- Rooftop rainwater harvesting
- Water is allowed to go into the ground directly from the roadside drains that collect rainwater.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Why it is very important that water is used carefully?
- To avoid shortage of water.
- To save cost as water is expensive.
- Excess usage of water is not ethical.
- All of the above.
What is rainwater harvesting?
- collecting, storing and distributing rainwater
- seeding in clouds
- distribution of stored water
- water supply
Which of the following is true about Rooftop rainwater harvesting?
- The rainwater is collected from the rooftop to a storage tank, through pipes.
- This water may contain soil from the roof and need filtering before it is used.
- Instead of collecting rainwater in the tank, the pipes can go directly into a pit in the ground.
- All of the above.
When rainwater percolates into the cracks of RCC, it further gets weakened due to the:
- formation of $H _2CO _3$
- increase in pH value
- increase in the percentage of free lime
- exothermic hydration process
Which of the following situations is classified as suffering from water scarcity?
(a) Region with high annual rainfall.
(b) Region having high annual rainfall and large population.
(c) Region having high annual rainfall but water is highly polluted.
(d) Region having low rainfall and low population.
- a and b
- a and d
- c and d
- b and c
Where can rain water harvesting not be practised?
- Playground
- Rooftops
- Bathroom
- Can be used in all of the above
Where can Rain Water Harvesting be implemented?
- Homes
- Schools
- Any other space as long as there is a catchment area
- All of these
Which of the following increase the rate of percolation of rain water into the soil?
- Constructing check dams
- Vegetation and trees
- Overgrazing
- All of the above
Rain water harvesting is a method employed to:
- stop soil erosion
- raise the water table
- increase afforestation
- decrease floods and droughts
"Catch it where it falls" is the basic idea behind :
- making dams to store water
- recycling of water
- rain water harvesting
- condensation of water vapour
