Question

He built a small farm pond, mulched his soil with dry leaves, and grew millets that needed less water. His first harvest was modest, and neighbours called his pond a waste of land. In the third year, when rain returned, his pond held water for months, his soil stayed moist, and his crop survived a dry spell that ruined others. Mohan's pond did not end drought, but it changed how his farm met drought." What is the passage mainly about?
