Question
[124]. Read the following passage carefully:
Passage: "In a dry village, an old tank that had silted up was restored by the villagers themselves. They desilted it before the rains, repaired its bund, and planted trees around it to hold the soil. When the monsoon came, the tank filled, wells nearby rose, and the village had water through the hot months. No new pipeline was built and no tanker was ordered. The tank worked because it stored rain where it fell and let the ground recharge slowly. The lesson was simple: water security often begins with caring for old, local structures rather than waiting for distant schemes." Why did nearby wells rise?
