What had led to the loss of local people's control over the local water resources in India ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the British people came to India, they first planned and started construction of large-scale projects - like dams and canals which were continued by the government of India after independence.
The mega projects led to the negligence of local irrigation methods and the government also increasingly took control of these systems.
This leading to the loss of local people control over the local water resources in India.

To check the pH of tap water and compare it with pH of the water in the local water body. Apparatus : Test tubes or beaker Materials : Universal pH indicator / litmus paper Procedure : implies Take water sample from tap of your home in a test tube. implies Add few drops of the universal indicator into the test tube containing tap water. implies Observe the water sample in the test tube for colour change. implies Test pH using a litmus paper, in the water sample placed in a beaker. implies Dip the litmus paper into the water in the local water body. implies Observe colour changes of the litmus paper. Observation : implies Test tube containing tap water, turns yellow colour with addition of pH indicator. implies Litmus paper does not show colour change with tap water. implies Water sample collected from pond shows red colour with pH indicator. Litmus paper turns red as it is dipped in water of local water body. Conclusion : The uncontaminated tap water is neutral while water of local water body is acidic. What is the cause for acidic water in water body?

A metallic rod of cross-sectional area 20 cm^(2) , with the lateral surface insulated to prevent heat loss, has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in ice water mixture. The heat conducted through the rod melts the ice at the rate of 1 gm for every 84 sec. The thermal conductivity of the rod is 160 Wm^(-1)K^(-1) . Latent heat of ice=80 cal/gm, 1 ca=4.2 joule. What is the length (in m) of the rod?

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 ml of alcohol. Then I mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow through. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. (a) Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol ? (b) What is the role of lycopodium powder ? (c) What would be the volume of oleic acid in each ml of solution prepared ? (d) How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid ? (e) What will be the volume of oleic acid in one drop of this solution ?
