Why are covered tanks found in many places of the map extract? Give two reasons.

Covered tanks are found in many places of the map extract for the following reasons:

1. Water Storage in Scarce or Seasonal Rain Areas — Covered tanks help store rainwater and prevent evaporation, especially in regions where rainfall is seasonal or water is not available year-round. This ensures a steady supply of water even during dry months.

2. Hygienic Water Supply — Covered tanks protect water from contamination by dust, animals, and debris, making them useful for drinking and domestic use in villages and towns.
