Question 8 of 22beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer1 mark

Are there any seasonal changes in water availability in the locality?

Correct Answer

Seasonal changes significantly affect water availability.

During monsoon season, water availability increases due to rainfall replenishing water bodies and groundwater.

Summer months typically see reduced water availability due to increased evaporation, higher consumption, and depleted reserves. Many localities experience water scarcity during peak summer when demand exceeds supply.

Explanation

The chapter on page 4 mentions that meteorological departments predict monsoon arrival and warn about cyclones, rainfall, heat waves, and snowstorms based on past data. Seasonal variations directly impact water availability, and understanding these patterns helps communities plan better for water management.
