(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

1. Assertion (A) : In ancient India, along with the sophisticated hydraulic structures, there existed an extraordinary tradition of water-harvesting system.
Reason (R) : Rainwater, or palar pani, as commonly referred to in these parts, is considered the purest form of natural water.

2. Assertion (A) : Today, dams are built not just for irrigation but for electricity generation, water supply for domestic and industrial uses, flood control, recreation, inland navigation and fish breeding.
Reason (R) : Hence, dams are now referred to as multi-purpose projects where the many uses of the impounded water are integrated with one another.

3. Assertion (A) : In Gujarat, the Sabarmati-basin farmers were agitated and almost caused a riot over the higher priority given to water supply in urban areas, particularly during droughts.
Reason (R) : Inter-state water disputes are also becoming less common with regard to sharing the costs and benefits of the multi-purpose project.

4. Assertion (A) : Most of the objections to the projects arose due to their success to achieve the purposes for which they were built.
Reason (R) : Ironically, the dams that were constructed to control floods have triggered floods due to sedimentation in the reservoir.

5. Assertion (A) : It was observed that the multi-purpose projects induced earthquakes, caused water-borne disease.
Reason (R) : People had in-depth knowledge of rainfall regimes and soil types and developed wide ranging techniques to harvest rainwater, groundwater, river water and flood water in keeping with the local ecological conditions and their water needs.
