Krishna Delta Farmers Advised to Plant Dry Crops Amid Water Shortage

Krishna Delta Farmers Advised to Plant Dry Crops Amid Water Shortage

Imagine you have a big water tank for your garden.

This year, even though it rained a lot, most of the water was used to help plants grow during the summer.

Now, there's not enough water left in the tank for the next growing season, which is called 'rabi'.

So, the grown-ups in charge are telling the farmers to grow plants that don't need as much water, like beans instead of rice.

This way, they can save the little water they have left for drinking and for the plants that will grow in the next summer season.

They are also making sure that some water from another nearby pond will be ready for drinking and summer plants when needed.
