The per capital consumption of a locality is affected by (i) Climatic conditions (ii) Quality of water (iii) Distribution pressure A. Only (i) B. Both (i) and (ii) C. Both (i) and (iii) D. All (i), (ii) and (iii)

The correct answer is D. All (i), (ii) and (iii).

Climatic conditions affect per capita consumption of water because people use more water in hot weather to cool off and in cold weather to stay warm. Quality of water affects per capita consumption because people are less likely to drink water that is not clean, and they may use more water to wash their hands and bodies if they are concerned about the quality of the water. Distribution pressure affects per capita consumption because people are less likely to use water if the pressure is low.

Here are some additional details about each of the factors that affect per capita consumption of water:

• Climatic conditions: People use more water in hot weather to cool off and in cold weather to stay warm. For example, in the United States, per capita water consumption is highest in the summer and lowest in the winter.
• Quality of water: People are less likely to drink water that is not clean, and they may use more water to wash their hands and bodies if they are concerned about the quality of the water. For example, in developing countries, where water quality is often poor, people may use more water to boil water for drinking and cooking.
• Distribution pressure: People are less likely to use water if the pressure is low. For example, in some parts of the world, water pressure is low due to aging infrastructure or drought. This can lead to people using less water for bathing, washing dishes, and other activities.
