3. For use in boilers / boiler  
4. Irrigating crops / crops Which of these statements are correct for irrigation  Which of these statements is true? (a) 1 and 2/1 and 2 (b) 2 and 3/2 and 3 (c) 1, 2 and 4 / 1,2 and 4 (d) 1, 2, 3 and 4 / 1,2,3 And 4







Show Answer
Ans.(d)
Sol. Drinking water is described as “hard” due to the presence of highly dissolved minerals specifically sulphates of Calcium and Magnesium Chloride. It is very difficult to wash clothes with hard water as it requires more soap and leaves a messy scum that cannot be washed out easily. When hard water is boiled at home or in industries, it leaves deposits of Calcium and Magnesium salts. These deposits reduce the efficiency of boilers, kettles and pipes and can cause blockages and even burst of the boilers. If salt level increases in irrigation water, it becomes harder for lawns and landscape plant to take up water even though the soil is moist. Consequently, more salty water requires extra effort to irrigate.
