El Nino Worsens Visakhapatnam Groundwater Crisis

El Nino Worsens Visakhapatnam Groundwater Crisis

Visakhapatnam is facing a serious groundwater crisis.

The water table is dropping in many areas because of El Niño and not enough rain.

Some places like Arilova and Yendada have very low groundwater levels.

Officials say that urbanization and more people using groundwater are making the problem worse.

They suggest that everyone should collect rainwater to help recharge the groundwater.

Without these measures, the crisis will get worse.
