Monsoon Deficit Lowers Karnataka Reservoir Levels

The monsoon rains in Karnataka, India, have been weaker than usual this year.

This means that the big water storage places, like reservoirs, are not filling up as much as they should.

Important reservoirs like KRS, Hemavathi, Tungabhadra, and Almatti have much less water than last year.

This is a problem because farmers need water for their crops, and cities like Bengaluru need water for drinking.

Farmers are worried and have even protested to ask for more water to be released.

The people in charge of water are carefully watching the situation and will decide later if they can release more water, depending on how much rain they get in the coming weeks.
