Why are exposed water pipes lagged with straw in winter in hilly region?
Water pipes in hilly regions are often wrapped with straw in winter to insulate them and prevent them from freezing. The straw helps to retain heat within the pipes, protecting them from the colder temperatures common in mountainous areas. This insulation can prevent the pipes from bursting due to the expansion of frozen water inside them.
