Which of the following is NOT an adaptation strategy for managing monsoon variability in India?

  1. Crop diversification

  2. Water conservation

  3. Drought-resistant crop varieties

  4. Intensive irrigation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Intensive irrigation is not an adaptation strategy for managing monsoon variability because it can lead to waterlogging and salinization of soil, which can reduce crop yields.

Which of the following is an example of a structural adaptation to monsoon variability?

  1. Building dams and reservoirs

  2. Changing crop varieties

  3. Improving irrigation systems

  4. Educating farmers about climate change


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Building dams and reservoirs is an example of a structural adaptation because it involves the construction of physical infrastructure to manage monsoon variability.

Which of the following is an example of a non-structural adaptation to monsoon variability?

  1. Changing crop varieties

  2. Improving irrigation systems

  3. Building dams and reservoirs

  4. Educating farmers about climate change


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Educating farmers about climate change is an example of a non-structural adaptation because it involves changing human behavior and knowledge, rather than constructing physical infrastructure.

Which of the following is a key challenge in implementing adaptation strategies for monsoon variability in India?

  1. Lack of financial resources

All of the above are key factors to consider when designing adaptation strategies for monsoon variability in India.

Which of the following is a key policy instrument for promoting adaptation to monsoon variability in India?

  1. National Adaptation Fund

  2. National Disaster Management Authority

  3. National Water Policy

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are key policy instruments for promoting adaptation to monsoon variability in India.

Which of the following is a key research area in the context of adaptation to monsoon variability in India?

  1. Climate modeling

  2. Vulnerability assessment

  3. Adaptation technologies

  4. All of the above

Explanation:

All of the above are key research areas in the context of adaptation to monsoon variability in India.

Which of the following is a key challenge in monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of adaptation strategies for monsoon variability in India?

  1. Lack of data

  2. Lack of indicators

  3. Lack of capacity

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are key challenges in monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of adaptation strategies for monsoon variability in India.

Which of the following is a key opportunity for promoting adaptation to monsoon variability in India?

  1. International cooperation

  2. Public-private partnerships
