Statement:
The meteorological department has predicted that this year, the rainfall will be 20% below normal in a particular state.
Courses of Action:
I: Increase tax on water usage by 100%. → Not an appropriate course of action as 100% increment of tax on water usage is not a valid decision.
II. Reduce water allocated to swimming pools and resorts. → This is an appropriate course of action as water is allocated to swimming pools and resorts are not a necessary or important part of our life. So we can save water using this course of action.
III. The Government should reduce electricity generation and purchase 1,00,000 water tankers. → Reduction in electricity generation is not a good and valid decision. Because after this the government will not be able to meet the requirement of electricity consumption.
Hence, Only II follows.
