With low water reserves, a blistering Indian summer
The water levels in Indian reservoirs are at levels lower than they have been in nearly a decade, and as the summer approaches, it looks like it will be a hot one, with little relief
: Agriculture Climate Change Water
The omens for this summer are bad in South Asia. Afghanistan received the lowest snowfall in years, spiking fears of a drought. In Pakistan temperatures have touched 44 degrees C in a number of places, and the water levels at its two major reservoirs have been at ‘dead levels’ since February 22. But, as William Young of the World Bank writes, Pakistan’s reservoir levels, while important for its water security, are buffered by the physical reservoir of the glaciers of the Himalayas, by which the Indus is fed. In India, though, only a few rivers have this ‘natural’ backup. As most Indian rivers benefit little from snow & ice melt, reservoir storage is more critical to Kharif irrigation supply there than in Pakistan. – eds
India is staring at a water crisis this summer. With the heat setting in earlier than usual in many parts of the country, water storage at major reservoirs have plummeted to critical lows at a time when the Met department has predicted higher than usual temperatures across India from March to June, before the monsoon rains offer any relief.
Water storage in 91 major reservoirs of the country in the week ended March 15, the latest period for which data is available, was a mere 32% of their total storage capacity, according to the Central Water Commission (CWC). This was 12% lower than the storage in the same period last year and almost 10% lower than the average of the past 10 years, the government agency has said in a statement.
