how does water scarcity affect the lives of people in the cold and hot deserts, respectively. explain?
Dear Student,
In hot deserts, there is a scarcity of water. Such deserts have a drought like condition all round the year due to very little precipitation. Water is found mainly in holes and oasis. So, people have to travel long distances to fetch water for drinking and other domestic requirements.
In the cold desert, even though there is more precipitation and availability of water. The water is not readily available for consumption. The water bodies like lakes and rivers are frozen due to extreme cold climate in the region.
