Answer 2

Answer:

There are many ways farmers cope up with the  dry season. One of them is that they store water for later use. The methods are as follows:

• The farmers carefully select species of plant which are drought tolerant. The plants have extensive root system which can adapt to changes specially scarcity of water.
• Another effective way is drip irrigation. In this system of small plastic pipes are fitted near plants which supply water at a very slow rate i.e 2-20 liters per hour. It is also called trickle irrigation.
• Mulching is another method which is used by farmers in the dry season. In this a layer of materials like pebbles, gravels or rocks are applied over the top soil. This helps retain the soil moisture.
