Answer:
Explanation:
our country faces water scarcity because there is unequal distribution of water on the states of India.
It is because of the lack of rainwater harvesting method, low water table, absence of aquifer
Explanation:
Mawsynram is a place in the state of Meghalaya in the northeastern part of India. Due to its high elevation and geological setting, the area receives the highest rainfall in the entire world. But still there occurs scarcity (shortage) of water. It is because, in the hilly places like Mawsynram, there is no suitable method implemented in order to harvest the rainwater. In addition to this, the water table is much lower and the presence of a perched water table. So they are not able to store and utilize it. The rainwater drains downward into the lakes and rives, which flows into the lower elevated areas.
