Explain how a local scheme can help to address water scarcity in a developing country.

A local scheme can help address water scarcity by implementing rainwater harvesting systems that collect and store rainwater for use during dry periods. Additionally, community education on water conservation practices can reduce overall water usage.

A strong answer should directly address the approved learning objective to use a local LIC or NEE scheme example to explain increasing sustainable supplies of water. This question belongs to Water (optional route) within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the response should use relevant Geography terminology, evidence, and context rather than a generic statement. The model answer is strongest when it names the key idea, links it to local, and keeps the explanation inside AQA GCSE Geography 8035.
