A village in Rajasthan has been facing water shortages for years. Recently, the community revived traditional stepwells and started rainwater harvesting. Within two years, groundwater levels improved, and agriculture became more stable.

Identify the geographical problem faced by the village:

Select all correct statements.

 

Soil salinity caused by over-irrigation.
Flooding due to excessive rainfall.
Chronic water scarcity due to low groundwater availability.
Coastal erosion affecting agricultural land.
Landslides in hilly terrain
2.

Select all correct statements:

Reviving stepwells helped store and conserve rainwater.
Rainwater harvesting increased groundwater recharge.
Desalination plants were installed to convert seawater into fresh water.
Water availability improved for agriculture.
Glacial melting was used as a primary water source.
Local methods reduced dependence on external water sources.
