Accepted Answer

The National Water Mission is one of the eight missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change. It focuses on water conservation, minimizing wastage, and ensuring equitable distribution.

Statement 1 is correct because one of the key goals of the mission is to increase water use efficiency by 20 percent, which includes the recycling and reuse of wastewater in urban areas.

Statement 2 is correct as the mission promotes the use of desalination and appropriate technologies in coastal cities where natural freshwater sources are scarce.

Statement 3 is incorrect because the interlinking of rivers is a separate, massive national project and not a specific objective under the National Water Mission.

Statement 4 is incorrect because the mission focuses on improving groundwater management and recharge rather than offering full financial reimbursement to farmers for individual bore-well expenses.

Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct, making B the right option.
