Answer 2

The reasons that many villages in Rajasthan do not face water shortages are the following.

• Rajasthan is the largest state in India in terms of geographical area. But, most of that land is covered by the Thar Desert.
• This makes Rajasthan a dry state with very little rainfall.
• The reason for the scarce rainfall is the Aravalli Hills, they form a natural barrier prohibiting the rain-carrying winds to reach the western state.
• This natural condition made the people of Rajasthan adapt and make the most of the circumstances given to them by mother nature.
• Many lakes and johads were constructed by the people in the region to collect and store water.
• The people there know the importance of water and engage in many other water conservation activities.
• The construction of water reservoirs and water conservation practices are the primary reason for the lack of water shortages in the villages of Rajasthan
