Question

Suppose you visit your native village after about 10 years. The village lies in a semi-

arid region and receives rainfall of 500 mm. Traditionally in the farming village, the

villagers used to practice mixed cropping of sorghum, pearl millet, pigeon pea,

chickpea, and groundnut. But over the last 15 years, they have shifted to paddy (rice)

cultivation in over 90% of the farming land. There are three small lakes in the

village, you found that two of the lakes have dried up while the surface of the third

lake is covered with an overgrowth of algae.
