Why cannot water and grass be seen separately in Maasai grazing system?

Correct answer: Grass and water both had to be available in the same area for cattle to survive and graze

In Maasai pastoralism, cattle needed grass for fodder and water for drinking. Even where grass was available, cattle could not remain for long without water; similarly, water alone was of little use without fodder. Therefore, the use of grazing land depended on access to water, often requiring seasonal movement. Option B is incorrect because grasslands did not have water throughout the year. Exam tip: treat pasture and water sources as interconnected resources in nomadic pastoralism.
