Question

[121]. 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. Which detail about water harvesting does the passage emphasise?

1.
A detail the passage explicitly rejects
2.
An unrelated historical fact
3.
A claim about a different subject
4.
Small local design, maintained by users, survives drought
