146 Udupi Villages at Risk of Drinking Water Shortage

Recent reports indicate a looming crisis for drinking water in a significant number of villages across Udupi district.

According to a comprehensive survey, 146 villages are projected to run low on potable water due to declining groundwater levels, inadequate infrastructure, and changing climate patterns.

If unaddressed, the shortage could jeopardise health and livelihoods, forcing residents into migration or relying on unsafe sources. Authorities are calling for immediate intervention. Source: Google News – Udupi.
