Question
Answer the following question in one or two paragraphs:
Write a note on the safety measures to lessen the impact of droughts.
Solution
Safety measures to lessen the impact of droughts are :
- Using water sources such as rivers, lakes, and ponds carefully and maintaining them is important to tide people over during times of no rain.
- Rainwater harvesting goes a long way in replenishing the depleting supply of groundwater. The government and social welfare organizations should teach and enable people to harvest rainwater to restore their water reserves.
- The building of check dams also helps to collect run-off water in hilly areas.
- We should stop cutting down trees along river banks and other water bodies. Instead, we should plant more trees. Trees help in drawing moisture and rainfall to a region.
- We should stop the wasteful use of water in our daily life.
