Case based questions.
In a small village, farmers plant rice every year. One year, there was heavy
rainfall, and water flooded the fields. After the water drained, the farmers found
that the topsoil had washed away, leaving only hard, dry soil underneath. The
farmers were worried that the crops would not grow. To solve the problem, the
village leader suggested building small walls called "terraces" on the hillsides to
stop water from washing away the soil in the future.
