If an area has low rainfall what can happen to drinking water?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Drinking water shortage may occur

Answer: A, a drinking-water shortage may occur. Rainfall supplies water directly to some reservoirs and indirectly helps recharge groundwater, wells, ponds, and rivers. If an area receives little rain for a long period, these sources may not be replenished sufficiently. Water levels can fall, and the amount available for drinking, farming, and daily use can become limited. B is wrong because low rainfall does not normally increase water supplies. C is wrong because people and other living things still need water, even during drought. D is wrong because wells fill when groundwater is recharged; they do not fill automatically without enough underground water. The result is not unavoidable in every case, because stored water and careful management can help, but shortage is a likely risk. Memory cue: less rain means less recharge and greater water stress.
