a). The reasons for water shortage in villages are
1) We're Changing the Climate, Making Dry Areas Drier and Precipitation More Variable and Extreme.
2) More People + More Money = More Water Demand.
3) Groundwater Is Being Depleted.
4) Water Infrastructure Is in a Dismal State of Disrepair.
5) And Natural Infrastructure Is Being Ignored.
6) Water Is Wasted.
7). Natural calamities such as droughts and floods.
8). Increased human consumption.
9). A global rise in freshwater demand.
10). Overuse of aquifers and its consequent slow recharge
b). she can suggest to the villagers to solve the problem of water shortage are
1). Implementation of blocks wise aquifer management plans as recommended by the CGWB.
2). Implementation of direct borewell recharge wherever possible to improve the availability of water for drinking and irrigation needs.
3). Repairing existing but unused water structures.
4). Improving community participation in managing water resources through competitions and rewards.
5). Developing water filtration systems. It's one thing to have access to water, and it's another to have access to water that is safe to drink.
6). Promoting water stewardship.
7). Protecting wetlands.
8). Improving irrigation efficiency.
9). Increasing water storage in reservoirs.
10). Improve Sewage Systems:
Clean drinking water starts with a good sewage system. Without proper sanitation, the water in an area becomes ridden with disease and any number of other problems. By improving the sewage systems in these areas, we can prevent water scarcity from becoming any worse.
