DeleteIt's 1000 to 1600
DeleteI guess it's incorrect in d CONTEMPORARY INDIA book.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia says , "For example, according to the Falkenmark Water Stress Indicator[1], a country or region is said to experience "water stress" when annual water supplies drop below 1,700 cubic metres per person per year. At levels between 1,700 and 1,000 cubic metres per person per year, periodic or limited water shortages can be expected. When water supplies drop below 1,000 cubic metres per person per year, the country faces "water scarcity"
Thanks for pointing out details. I updated the blog with your comments. Also sent an email to NCERT to provide errata/update on this.
DeleteWiki is not always right....
DeleteWe cannot trust wiki on the basis of education since it is universal and anyone can edit it according to his/her wish
So i guess the NCERT is right!
yes, in many books (i mean refreshers) it is given 1000-1700 cubic metres per person per year. so i guess ncert should update its textbooks.
ReplyDeleteyeah it should be updated
