There are two old wells in the area where Punita lives. Her grandmother says that about fifteen- twenty years ago there was water in these wells. The wells could have dried up because: Water is being pumped up from under the ground with the help of electric motors. The lakes in which rainwater used to collect are no longer there. The soil around trees and parks is now covered with cement. IS there some other reason for this. Explain.
The reasons mentioned above are, of course, the causes of this sorry states. However, cutting of trees, lack of maintenance etc. may also be the reason for the same.
