Question

Read the passage and answer the question. Passage: The village of Kothapalli once waited all summer for water tankers. Its wells ran dry by March, and women walked two kilometres to the nearest hand pump. In 2019, the villagers decided to act together. With help from a local engineer, they dug recharge pits near every house, built small check dams across the seasonal stream, and repaired the old village tank. The first monsoon filled the tank to the brim, and the wells, which had been dry for years, began to hold water again. Within two years, the village stopped ordering tankers altogether. Farmers who had left for the city returned to sow their fields, and the school, which had closed for want of drinking water, reopened its doors. Kothapalli now teaches neighbouring villages how a community that plans together can secure its own water. What happened within two years of the villagers’ efforts?
