(Subjective Part)

Q2. Read the following passage carefully and answer any five
questions including question no 1. Question no one is compulsory.
(6+4*3=18)

The alarming and incessant growth of population is causing serious economic

problems in almost all continents. Great pressure is being placed on arable land,
water, energy and biological resources. As the world population grows, the food
problem will become increasingly severe. The most vulnerable will be population in
developing countries. The per capita availability of food grains has been declining
for the past 25 years. Certainly with a quarter million people being added to the
world population each day, the need for grains and all other food will reach
unprecedented levels. There are about quarter of a million people added to the
planet per day. This exponential growth is mostly happening in developing nations.
More than 99 percent of the world’s food supply comes from the land, while less
than 1 percent is from oceans and other aquatic habitats. The continued production
of an adequate food supply is directly dependent on ample fertile land, fresh water
and energy. As the human population grows, the requirements for these resources
also grow. Even if these resources are never depleted, on a per capita basis they
will decline significantly because they must be divided among more people. At
present, fertile agricultural land is being lost at an alarming rate. The shortage of
productive fertile land combined with decreasing land productivity is the major
cause of current food shortages. Water is another critical item for all crops. Massive
amount of water is required during the growing season for cultivation. In fact,
agricultural production consumes more fresh water than any other human activity.
In many countries, people are facing shortage of fresh water. Competition for water
resources among individuals, regions, and countries and associated human
activities is already occurring with the current world population. Water resources,
critical for irrigation, are under great stress as populous cities, states and countries
require and withdraw more water from rivers, lakes, and aquifers every year. A
major threat to maintaining future water supplies is the continuing over-use of
surface and ground water resources.
