As we know that the main source of potable water available on the earth is precipitation.As excessive rainfall is destructive so is the absence of rain.

Floods may occur because of heavy rainfall causing loss of life and property.

But if the precipitation does not take place,then conditions of drought arise.There is a shortfall of food and food may have to be imported.Farmers condition becomes grave .

A county's economy gets affected. Economy of an agrarian country like India is dependent on agriculture. Agriculture in India to a large extent is dependent on the monsoons.

Hence, the rainfall in India is important to the whole country.A good rainfall at the right time increases crop production while untimely rain can couse damage to the crops. The rainfall in India is quite erratic.

Visibility reduces because of highly dense fog.It affects the means of transportation like roads,railways , waterways,and the airways.Accidents may take place in such conditions.

Trains,flights and other transport services may have to be cancelled.Frost is harmful to crops and causes accident if spread on the road.

Fog and Dew damage some crops by spreading diseases while it may be beneficial to some crops.
