Answer: a. low precipitation
Precipitation is the amount of rainfall an area or a biome receives. It is the chief source of water for water bodies available for human use like lakes, rivers, ponds, groundwater. The amount of rainfall depends upon the vegetation growing in an area. The trees and plants transports water through the process of transpiration that adds up to the water cycle. Lack of vegetation can affect normal water cycle and can limit the occurrence and amount of rainfall. The lack of proper rainfall will limit the volume of water in water bodies and hence, will limit the water supply for use.
