Water Scarcity In Madhya Pradesh

Concerned about his wife having to fetch water daily from a hand-pump half-a-km away from their home in Madhya Pradesh's Guna, a poor labourer has dug a well in his own house in just a fortnight.

The scarcity of water in the season of searing heat has spilled over from the concrete jungles to the forests of Madhya Pradesh. A battle over water is likely one of the reasons behind the death of more than a dozen monkeys, according to forest officials.

Madhya Pradesh is staring at an acute water shortage as 65 dams, out of 164 important reservoirs in the state, have almost dried up.

Four years after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the "Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan" with an aim to make India open defecation free by 2019, over 100 students at an all-girls government hostel in Madhya Pradesh are being forced to defecate and bathe in the open. Reason? Scarcity of water, says the warden.

With just enough water left in its reserves to last four days, authorities in Madhya Pradesh's Betul city have imposed prohibitory orders to restrict all construction work.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday reviewed the drought and water scarcity situation in Madhya Pradesh during a meeting here with Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and senior officials.

Scorching summer has made water into a precious commodity, as most borewells have dried up in the Vidisha Assembly constituency of Madhya Pradesh. As a tanker brings 1000 litres of water into the town, residents waiting for hours, rush to fill their buckets and containers.

Malwa in MP is the most thirsty region in the country. Hundreds of factories are shutting down because there is simply no water.
