Climate change can cause various challenges in the country, one of which is drought. In some areas, people have adopted different methods to prevent or reduce the effects of drought. To store water from snow and rainfall and to reduce the risk of floods, they have built certain structures or reservoirs such as trenches and check dams (small dams). These measures have helped solve many problems.
