Question

Accepted Answer

Water is one of the main non-living components which is required by plants and animals for their survival. Plants utilise water for the synthesis of food. Water plays an important role in the transport of substances in plants. Animals require approximately 2-3 litters of water daily for several physiological activities. As we know that a small part of the water present on the earth can be utilised by living beings which is not sufficient for the whole population, therefore rainwater harvesting is done to fulfil the requirement of water. If there is scanty rainfall, The following adverse effects can be seen in the living beings:
