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 rain water 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.
