The correct options are as follows:

1. D.

Pesticides are chemicals that are used by farmers to eliminate pests that are destroying their crops. Pesticides comes in various form and the methods used to apply them vary. Some of the pesticides are apply directly to the soil, in this case, the pesticide can move into the water level of the area and contaminate the water source in that environment. If this happens, the water source in that area will test positive for pesticides.

2. A

Due to different human activities, the quantity of carbon dioxide that is available in the atmosphere these days has increase tremendously and this in turn has result in the amount of carbon dioxide that get dissolved in different water bodies, leading to the acidification of the water, which is unhealthy for the organisms living in the water. Also, carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere leads to global warming, which leads to increase in the temperature of water bodies. The higher the temperature of the water bodies, the higher the quantity of carbon dioxide that get dissolved in the water. Dissolution of CO2 in water leads to water acidification, which can lead to fish kill.

Where did they start water conservation in tamil nadu . short answer
OleMash [197]

Explanation:

The 2019 water crisis in Chennai has made us realize the importance of saving water more than ever. Water, as we all know, is a finite resource without which our planet would be a barren wasteland. Today with our increasing population it would be logical to say that our water consumption has also increased. And with increasing demand and lesser supply, water scarcity arises. Our ancestors who had foreseen the potential dangers of water scarcity had developed methods to conserve water that was suited for the varied terrain of the Tamil-speaking kingdoms.

Traditional Rainwater Conservation methods of Tamil Nadu

Eri

There are no perennial rivers in Tamil Nadu except the Thamirabharani River which flows through Thirunelveli district. And so, several hundred years ago a simple system was devised to utilize the rainwater to the fullest. An Eri or tank system is one of the oldest forms of water conservation systems in India. Many Eris are still in use in Tamil Nadu and play an active role in irrigation. They act as water reservoirs and flood control systems. They prevent soil erosion, recharge groundwater, and prevent wastage of runoff water during heavy rainfall.

Kudimaramathu

Kudimaramathu is one of the old traditional practice of stakeholders participating in the maintenance and management of irrigation systems. During earlier days, citizens of a village used to actively participate in maintaining the water bodies of their village by deepening and widening the lakes and ponds and restoring the water bodies back to their original form. The silt, rich in nutrients, collected in the process would be used by the farmers themselves in their field. A sense of collective ownership ensured the continued survival of the water bodies.

Ca(s)+2hno3(aq)→ca(no3)2(aq)+h2(g) identify the oxidizing agent.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

To find for the oxidizing agent, first let us write the half reactions of this complete chemical reaction:

Ca = Ca2+ + 2e- <span>
2 H+ + 2e- = H2</span>

 

The oxidizing agent would be the substance of the element that is reduced. We know that an element is reduced when an electron is added to it. In this case, the element being reduced is H. Therefore the oxidizing agent is HNO3.

 

Answer:

<span>HNO3</span>
