Question

[118]. Passage:

Water harvesting in dry regions teaches a lesson modern engineering often forgets: store water where it falls. A rooftop tank, a farm pond and a recharged well do not need a distant dam to help a household through a dry month. Communities that map their own drains, clear their tanks before rain and share stored water by agreed rules survive droughts better than those waiting for tankers. Conservation here is not sacrifice alone; it is design — small, local and maintained by those who use it. On the passage about water harvesting, what is its central argument?

1.
It argues only for more funding without any change
2.
It argues the subject should be abandoned
3.
store water where it falls
4.
It argues only experts should decide
