But @Parnit is it mentioned that its an agricultural city or there are farmers nothing is specifically mentioned. So we cannot relate food with later. Hence only option 2 follows.

There seems to be a problem with statement II- "The government should make since efforts to provide drinking/potable water to these districts".

According to me, Drought means not having food or water, if they had water they could use it to grow crops and use it for their own benefit.

Drought means not only shortage of water but also failure of crops, unemployment etc. How can only supply of water can cover up the loss.

In drought there people only face the lack of food, not water so only 1 is correct.
