Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Effective conjunctive water use can mitigate the impacts of droughts, optimize water allocation, and enhance
water security in regions facing water scarcity.
Reason (R) : Conjunctive water use is a complex approach to water resources management that requires interdisciplinary
collaboration and advanced modeling techniques
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
EXPLANATION
Irrigation Pumps
- Assertion (A) is Correct: Conjunctive water management—the coordinated, planned use of surface water and groundwater reservoirs—buffers against droughts, minimizes evaporative reservoir losses, controls water table rise and salinization, and maximizes water productivity.
- Reason (R) is Correct: Implementing conjunctive use across diverse hydrological basins requires interdisciplinary integration of hydrologic, hydrogeologic, socioeconomic, and mathematical optimization models.
- Relationship: Both statements are valid concepts in water resource engineering, but Reason (R) describes institutional and modeling complexity rather than explaining the drought mitigation mechanism of Assertion (A).
- Conclusion: Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A) (Option 2).
