Solution

Dear Student,
In hot deserts, there is a scarcity of water. Deserts have drought like condition all round the year due to very little precipitation. Water is found mainly in holes and oasis. So, people have to travel long distances to fetch water for drinking and other domestic requirements.
In the cold desert, even there is more precipitation and availability of water but the water is not readily available for consumption. The water bodies like lakes and rivers are frozen due to extreme cold climate in the region. So, people living in cold desert areas have very less amount of drinking water.
Regards.
