Why Northeast India Receives High Rainfall and Its Paradoxes

Why Northeast India Receives High Rainfall and Its Paradoxes

Northeast India, especially Mawsynram, gets a lot of rain because of the way the land is shaped and how the monsoon winds come in.

The hills force the rain clouds to drop tons of water.

This can cause floods and landslides, which cause problems.

But, even though it rains a lot, some places don't have enough water to drink.

To fix this, experts suggest building ways to collect rainwater and store water, so the people can have enough water, even during the dry times.
