Wular Lake's Declining Water Levels Threaten Livelihoods

Wular Lake in Kashmir is having big problems.

The water level is going down, and there's a lot of dirt (silt) in the lake.

This is making it hard for people who live near the lake to catch fish and collect water chestnuts.

The lake used to give them a good amount of these things to sell, but now there's much less.

This means many families are having a hard time making money and buying the things they need.

The lake is very big and important for lots of people, so if it keeps getting worse, more families will struggle.
