B
Combining strategies reduces the need for other long-term water management plans.
C
Combining strategies balances tradeoffs by reducing demand and increasing supply.
D
Combining strategies shifts reliance mainly to importing water from outside sources.

Explanation

Combining strategies can address drought from both sides: reducing water use lowers demand, while approaches such as water reuse or storage increase available supply. Using both can balance the limits of any one approach and strengthen resilience. It does not eliminate environmental impacts or costs, as choice A claims.
