Solution:
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be regenerated or replaced by ecological processes on a relevant timescale. They include biological resources such as biomass, plants, and animals. They also include freshwater, fresh air, soil fertility, and elements like carbon and nitrogen.
Solution:
Rainfall that is acidic, possesses elevated H+ ion concentrations, and has been commonly known as ‘acid rain’.
the contribution from SO2 is considerably smaller than during the 1970s, so that currently, oxidised and reduced nitrogen dominate acid deposition. Deposition of reduced nitrogen (N) compounds, e.g.NH4+, can acidify via microbial transformations in the soil and also assimilation in plants leading to acidification of the rhizospehere. Other compounds also contribute to acid deposition, e.g. hydrochloric acid (HCl)
397. The controversial dam across the river Narmada?
Solution:
The Sardar Sarovar Dam is a gravity dam on the Narmada river near Navagam, Gujarat in India. Four Indian states, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharastra and Rajasthan, receive water and electricity supplied from the dam. The foundation stone of the project was laid out by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 5 April 1961.
