有些地區沒有降雨。在旁遮普邦，農民從地下抽取過多的水。在孟買，由於湖泊乾涸，企業可用於經營的水量減少。

Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Amount' Secret
To reach A2, you need to describe how much of something exists. Look at how the text compares things using simple words:
The Scale of Water
- Big A big problem (Large/Serious)
- Enough Not enough water (The right amount)
- Little Very little fresh water (Small amount)
- Too much Take too much water (More than needed)
- Less Less water for businesses (A smaller amount than before)
Quick Rule: Use 'Little' or 'Less' when you cannot count the item (like water, rain, or time).
Example from text: "The lakes are empty" This is the extreme version of "little water."
