Hi mate!!
here's your answer

average rainfall in Cherrapunjee exceeds 1100 c.m. every year. However due to some unknown reasons, the rainfall in Cherrapunjee seems to be dwindling every year. Within last 5 years, the average rainfall has reduced by as much as 20 %.As a result, Cherrapunji seems to have lost its title of ‘The Town with Highest Rainfall in the World’ to a nearby village known as ‘ Mawsynram”. This village, about 50 to 60 kilometers away from Cherrapunji, received about 1200 c.m. rain this year. Most of the tourists visit Cherrapunji, when they visit Shillong, the capital of this state. This tourism business as thrived in Cherrapunji and has drawn in large number of people as tourism creates many more jobs. As a result, the population of this town has multiplied by 15 times from the original figure of just 7000 people. There is no water reservoir or any water storage tanks in this town. In the winter months, enough water is not available for the population of the town.
