Mater Stroke: Vidarbha reeling under acute water shortage

With the deficient rains, reservoirs in the region had barely 30% of their storage capacity left by the end of March. Groundwater levels started receding fast and wells, bore-wells have dried up in many places. Water rationing is already being implemented in urban areas of Yavatmal, Akola and Buldhana. Washim is going through a worst crisis with its 510 villages depending on supplies through tankers daily.
With agriculture drought-like situation declared in over 9,000 villages in Vidarbha, the drinking water scarcity is now bound to mount extra pressure on district administrations for the three months till the next monsoon arrives.
