Which of the following region faces water scarcity even after receiving high annual rainfall?
1 Sriganganagar
2 Cherrapunjee
3 Srinagar
4 Shimla
Explanation:
Cherrapunjee It sounds incredible but it’s true that the world’s wettest town - Cherrapunji - is now suffering from a shortage of drinking water. The problem is that Cherrapunji lies atop a high limestone plateau. Rain falling on the town drains away immediately. Very little rain collection takes place, because the locals don’t like the taste of water running off rusty tin roofs. With a growth in the town population, water has to be carried up from the plains during the drier winter months.
