4. 4.

   True or False: Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) only focuses on surface water.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the broader context of water management.

5. 5.

   Design a disaster preparedness plan for a hypothetical region that frequently experiences varying droughts and floods. Include strategies derived from the global water budget insights.

   Hint

   Consider specific local water sources and environmental factors.

6. 6.
