Question

write either “true” or “false”:

1. drought happens when a region endures with intense water lack.
2. water gathering is done to use water.
3. every crop requires the same amount of water.
4. every year, the monsoon in india is predictable and common

Explanation:

1. Drought happens when a region endures with intense water lack.

Drought is defined as a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water. So if a region has an intense water lack (prolonged), it is a drought. So this statement is correct.

Water gathering (like collecting rainwater, fetching from sources) is primarily done so that the gathered water can be used for various purposes like drinking, irrigation, etc. So the statement is correct.

Different crops have different water requirements. For example, rice requires a lot of water (grown in paddies), while crops like millet are more drought - tolerant and need less water. So not every crop needs the same amount of water.

Answer:

True

2. Water gathering is done to use water.
