North Goa staring in the face of a water crisis as Anjunem Dam reservoir reaches critically low level

Water reserves in the Anjunem Dam have dropped to a dangerously low level. With the unprecedented summer heat and parts of Goa already facing a water shortage, should the dam not be replenished during the monsoon, North Goa could be looking at a major water crisis.

The Anjunem Dam which is dependent on the highly disputed Mhadeiriver is the main source of water for North Goa. WRD Minister, SubhashShirodkar when asked to comment on the situation says there is no abnormal drop in water levels, and the reservoir will be restored come the monsoons.
