105. Read the text and answer the questions:

Water is the key resource in the Badia. In spite of the low rainfall, research is looking at a way of making more efficient use of
this precious resource.  Early fieldwork suggests that there may be considerable possibilities for developing "rainfall harvest" techniques and in reviving old skills of water – management handed down through generations in the Badia.  Evidence of old water – harvesting systems are scattered throughout the Badia.  Although the study of these old systems will be an important starting point for work on the design and location of new structures, modern technology will also be lending a helping hand through the use of satellite images which will help the program to assess the best places for measuring instruments.
