If water sources on a pastoral group's traditional route dry up, what would be the most practical result?

Correct answer: They will search for alternative halts, water sources and grazing areas

Pastoral communities depended on the availability of water and fodder for their animals. If water sources dried up along a traditional route, they would alter their movement and seek other water points, halts and grazing grounds. Option D may occur as a long-term choice for some families, but the immediate practical response is to change the route. Exam tip: remember that seasonal movement and adaptation to resources were key features of pastoral nomadism.
