Goa Has Drinking Water Stock For One Month Amid Monsoon Lull, Govt Issues Caution

Summary

Goa currently has a stock of drinking water that can last for about one month, due to a lull in monsoon rainfall which has caused a drastic drop in water levels at various reservoirs. The government plans to issue strict advisories to ensure the existing water is not exhausted prematurely, with key reservoirs such as the Selaulim dam at twenty-seven percent full, the Anjunem dam at nine point nine percent, and the Mhaisal Dam at nineteen percent. The state is expecting rainfall activities to resume by next weekend, according to the India Meteorological Department.
