Answer
Climate change is likely the cause; the village can save water and plant trees.

Explanation

  • Rising temperature and erratic rainfall point to climate change.
  • It is driven by greenhouse gases and global warming.
  • The village can harvest rainwater to store water for dry spells.
  • It can plant more trees to cool the area and hold soil moisture.
Climate change causes this; saving water and planting trees help.
