Answer 1

All of the following are ways farmers practice sustainable water use except for:

extracting water from wells.

All of the other options are effective practices to conserve or reuse water sustainably.

Answer 2

Answer:

Out of all the practices farmers follow for the sustainable use of water, extraction of water from the wells is comparatively less sustainable.

Explanation:

• The use of water from flowing streams to irrigate the fields is considered sustainable because the streams fall in the renewable resources of water.

• Reusing rainwater for irrigation is the best possible practice if looked at from the sustainability point of view.

• Drip irrigation is particularly practiced to avoid wastage of water, thus making it a sustainable practice.

• The groundwater is limited and is depleting at a faster pace.

• Extracting more and more water from wells has resulted in the lowering of groundwater levels, thus making it an unsustainable practice.
