Question
Some parts of India face droughts whereas some other parts experience floods at the same time. Why does this happen?
Options:
A .  Uneven distribution of rain.
B .  Melting of glaciers.
C .  Rainwater harvesting.
D .  Infiltration.
Answer: Option A
:
A
The uneven distribution of rainwater causes floods in one area while drought in the other. Some places have a good amount of rainfall and are water rich. Other places, like deserts have scanty rainfall.
Excessive rain causes floods in some areas. Parts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are hit by floods almost every year during the rainy season. Whereas other places like Rajasthan have scanty rainfall and face drought. We should promote rainwater harvesting in areas which have low rainfall.
