Question

What pattern of rainfall in our country leads to scarcity of water? Which part of the country gets rainfall twice a year?

Answer 1

Part 1:

• India is a vast country, hence the pattern of rainfall varies widely.
• Some regions have excessive rain, while some others have very little rainfall. Absence of rain results in droughts and water scarcity.
• Also, the amount of rainfall is not the same every year. Years with less rainfall experience water scarcity.

Part 2: The coast of Tamil Nadu receives rainfall twice a year.
