PANAJI: After the sweltering summer, the Anjunem Dam’s water level has significantly dropped. The reservoir only has 17% of its total capacity left to meet water requirements until the monsoon sets in, according to data from the Water Resources Department based on the dam level monitoring.
Goa is experiencing a severe water shortage as a result of the summer heat, which has caused the state’s dam water levels to fall below 50%.
The Water Resources Department (WRD) has released data indicating that the Anjunem reservoir, which supplies water to Sattari and portions of Bicholim taluka, will have a water level of 22% until May 10, 2024.
On the other hand, new data indicates that the water level has dropped to a worrisome 17%.
Concerns have once again been raised about the State’s dams’ declining water levels as the extreme summer heat continues to cause havoc.
The water percentages left in the Goan dams are as follows, according to the dam level monitoring report released by the state’s water resource department: Selaulim 29%, Tillari 32%, Anjunem 17%, Chapoli 46%, Amthane 33%, Gaunem 47%, and Panchawadi 20%.
The WRD Minister stated in April that there won’t be any immediate worries about water scarcity during the summer because the water levels in dams throughout the state are adequate.
