Question

[106]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "Water never stays in one place for long. Heat from the sun lifts water from rivers, lakes and fields as invisible vapour. High in the sky this vapour cools and gathers into clouds, and when the droplets grow heavy they fall as rain or snow. Part of the rain flows back to rivers, part sinks into the ground to become groundwater, and part is taken up by plants. The same water may later rise again as vapour. This endless movement, called the water cycle, explains why a river can keep flowing even though it constantly loses water to the sea and to the sky." What is the main idea of the passage?

A village pond shared by the whole community recovers when people stop polluting it and take steady, collective responsibility.
