This situation has been going on since 2015 with Saja and Bemetara blocks in the district being the worst affected. As per the district data report, in 2017, Bemetara received only 75 percent (788.92 mm) of the expected rainfall (1037.2 mm)Fakipur village in Saja block is a fitting example of the mismanagement of water by the district administration. "It has been two decades since Keshtara gram panchayat has begun supplying water two hours a day to Bagledi village under the group water scheme. But the water supplied per household per day is not more than 20 litres. The women of the village have to walk more than two km daily to bring drinking water,” says Omkar Prasad Verma, an employment assistant at Keshtara gram panchayat.
