  4. It improves the quality of water.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change leads to increased evaporation, which reduces the amount of water available in rivers, lakes, and aquifers.

Which of the following is a consequence of decreased water availability due to climate change?

  1. Increased agricultural productivity.

  2. Reduced risk of flooding.

  3. Improved water quality.

  4. Increased risk of droughts.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Decreased water availability can lead to droughts, which can have devastating impacts on agriculture, ecosystems, and human populations.

How can water be used to mitigate climate change?

  1. By using water to generate electricity.

  2. By using water to cool buildings.

  3. By using water to irrigate crops.

  4. By using water to create artificial wetlands.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Artificial wetlands can help to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which helps to mitigate climate change.

What is the importance of water conservation in the context of climate change?

  1. It helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  2. It helps to improve water quality.

  3. It helps to reduce the risk of flooding.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Water conservation helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the amount of energy needed to pump and treat water. It also helps to improve water quality by reducing the amount of pollutants that enter water bodies. Additionally, water conservation helps to reduce the risk of flooding by reducing the amount of runoff that enters waterways.
