Reservoir levels dip to 10-yr low in South India
The Morning Standard
|April 27, 2024
SOUTHERN India faces a grim situation as water in reservoirs dips to a 10-year low.
India's ongoing general election campaign coincides with an excruciatingly hot summer season, compounded by a serious water crisis, especially in Southern India.
Major reservoirs in the region hold less water compared to the previous year, during the corresponding time of 2023, and the storage level is even lower than the average storage of the last ten years during the corresponding period.
According to the latest data from the Central Water Commission (CWC) released on Friday, Southern India faces a water crisis as reservoir levels plunge to just 17% capacity.
