    Ques: DISADVANTAGES OF DAMS:


    1. Damming of rivers and regulating their flow result in excessive sedimentation at
    the bottom of the reservoir. This may hamper aquatic life and their migration to
    other water bodies.
    2. Building of dams result in the submergence of land and vegetation. This results in
    the decomposition of vegetation.
    3. Construction of large dams results in the displacement of villagers and
    communities.
    4. Large forest areas are also submerged because of the building of dams. This
    threatens our biodiversity.
    5. In case of excessive rainfall, the release of water from dams often floods the area,
    causing damage to lives and property.

    Ques: WATER IS A RENEWABLE SOURCE


    The earth’s surface is covered with water, but only a small portion of it accounts
    for freshwater that can be put to use. This fresh water is mainly obtained from
    surface run off and ground water that is continually being renewed and recharged
    through the hydrological cycle. All water moves within the hydrological cycle
    ensuring that water is a renewable source.

    Ques: BAMBOO DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM


    Answer: In Meghalaya, a 200-year-old system of tapping stream and spring water by
    using bamboo pipes, is prevalent. About 18-20 litres of water enters the
    bamboo pipe system, gets transported over hundreds of metres, and finally
    reduces to 20-80 drops per minute ate the site of the plant.
    Features of Bamboo Drip Irrigation System:
    a. Bamboo pipes are used to divert perennial springs on the hilltops to the lower
    reaches by gravity.
    b. The channel sections, made of bamboo, divert water to the plant site where it is
    distributed into branches, again made and laid out with different forms of
    bamboo pipes.
    c. The flow of water into the pipes is controlled by manipulating the pipe positions.
    d. Reduced channel sections and diversion units are used at the last stage of water
    application. The last channel section enables water to be dropped near the roots
    of the plant.
