Give reason of Water pipes burst in severe winter.

उत्तर १
Water pipes bursts in severe winter because the water inside I the pipes freezes and increases its volume.
उत्तर २
In severe winter, water pipe lines often burst because water freeze at sub-zero temperature and in doing so expands. Since there is no space within the pipes for expanding ice, it exerts very large pressure and bursts open the steel pipes.
