S1: The ecosystem of water is complex and many environmental factors are intricately linked.
P: Thick forests make for excellent catchments.
Q: The problems we see are because we have undermined these links over decades.
R: First, rain and snowfall are the only sources of water – about 99%.
S: In the four months of monsoon, there are about 30-35 downpours and the challenge is to hold this water in systems that can last us over 365 days.
S6: The trees slowly transfer rainwater into the sub-soil and this is critical for sustaining water for months after the rains.
Find the correct sequence of P, Q, R and S.
