Q1With reference to the Yamuna Water Project discussed at the recent New Delhi meeting, consider the following statements: 1. The principal agenda of the meeting was to finalise the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for the project. 2. The Yamuna Water Project is primarily intended for the Marwar (Jodhpur) region of Rajasthan. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Only statement 1 is correct. The principal agenda of the New Delhi meeting was to finalise the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for the Yamuna Water Project. Statement 2 is incorrect: the project is considered crucial for the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, not the Marwar (Jodhpur) region.
Q2Consider the following statements about the UHLC (Vagad Mega Water Grid) project in Banswara:\n1. The system is monitored using SCADA technology and includes about 200 diggis (reservoirs).\n2. The underground HDPE pipeline network extends about 5,000 km, with hydrant points every 1.25 to 1.50 hectares.\n3. The project will benefit nearly 35 lakh people on completion.\nWhich of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: the system uses SCADA technology with about 200 diggis, and the 5,000 km HDPE pipeline has hydrant points every 1.25 to 1.50 hectares. Statement 3 is incorrect because the project will benefit nearly 3.5 lakh people (not 35 lakh) directly and indirectly.
Q3Consider the following statement and reason regarding the Yamuna Water Project: Assertion (A): The Yamuna Water Project is considered extremely significant for the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. Reason (R): A joint Detailed Project Report (DPR) for laying the pipeline has already been sent to the Central Water Commission. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Both the Assertion and the Reason are factually true as per the report. The project is considered significant for the Shekhawati region (A is true), and a joint DPR has been sent to the Central Water Commission (R is true). However, the Reason does not explain the Assertion: the project's significance for Shekhawati stems from it providing drinking water and irrigation to lakhs of people in that region, not from the procedural step of submitting the DPR. Hence R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
