The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.

Explanation:

The National Water Mission aims to conserve water, minimize wastage and ensure its equitable distribution both across and within states through integrated water resources development and management. Its objectives include enhancing the water use efficiency by 20%, promoting basin-level integrated water resources management, and developing a framework for water governance.

If the National Water Mission is properly and completely implemented, it will impact the country in the following ways:

Part of the water needs of urban areas will be met through recycling of water.

The water requirements of coastal cities with inadequate alternative sources of water will be met by adopting appropriate technologies that allow for the use of ocean water.

All the rivers of Himalayan origin will not be linked to the rivers of peninsular India. This option is incorrect as it is not a part of the National Water Mission.

The expenses incurred by farmers for digging bore-wells and for installing motors and pump-sets to draw ground water will not be completely reimbursed by the Government. This option is incorrect as it is not a part of the National Water Mission.
