17884. The turbidity in water is caused due to-
silt clay
finely divided
organic matter
all of these
ব্যাখ্যা: Turbidity is caused by particless suspended or dissolved in water that scatter light making the water appear cloudy or murky. Particulate matter can include sediment sepecially clay and sit, fine organic and inorganic matter, soluble colored organic compounds, algae and other microscopic organisms
17885. The water obtained from tube wells is known as-----
surface water
sub-surface water
run-off
portable water
ব্যাখ্যা: They extract freshwater from subsurface or deeper groundwater aquifers. The approach can include both creating new boreholes and tube wells (for example as a drought response measure), or deepening or rehabilitating existing ones.
