Early Water Crisis in Barhi
With the onset of March, the effects of rising temperatures are already being felt in Barhi. This year, even before summer has officially arrived, the region is facing an alarming water crisis. Typically, water scarcity does not become severe until later in the season, but this time, ponds have dried up prematurely, and rivers are on the verge of disappearing.
Lifeline River in Laskari Dries Up
The river flowing through Laskari village, under Rasoi Dhamna Panchayat in Barhi block, is considered a lifeline for the nearby villages. However, it has already dried up completely, creating a dire situation for both humans and wildlife.
Severe Impact on Animals and Birds
The drastic water shortage has left animals and birds struggling to find drinking water. Once a steady water source, the river is now a barren stretch. Even the wells in the village are experiencing a decline in water levels, further exacerbating the crisis. As summer approaches, the situation is expected to worsen.
Concerns of the Local Residents
Residents are deeply concerned, as the ongoing water crisis could have severe consequences if not addressed immediately. Farmers, in particular, fear that the lack of water will negatively impact agricultural activities. With rising temperatures in the coming weeks, the situation could become even more critical.
Local authorities and residents need to take immediate measures to tackle this crisis before it spirals out of control.
