The Tungabhadra dam has reportedly run dry due to a significant rainfall deficit, raising serious concerns about the upcoming kharif crop season.
The Tungabhadra dam, a crucial water source for agricultural activities, has reached its lowest point and is now reported to be dry. This critical situation stems from a substantial deficit in rainfall experienced in the region.
The dwindling water levels in the dam pose a significant threat to the upcoming kharif crop season. Farmers and agricultural stakeholders are expressing deep concern as the lack of water could severely impact crop cultivation and yield.
This development underscores the immediate challenges posed by weather patterns and the potential for agricultural crises in areas dependent on monsoon rains and reservoir levels.
