Water resources drying up in Manipur
Morung Express | Newmai News Network | Imphal, April 5 (
Three rivers flowing through the hill districts of Manipur, Barak, Irang and Iril, are reportedly flowing at very low levels now. Though the levels of water in rivers are naturally low during the dry season before the arrival of the monsoon, this season it has been reported to be unusually lower than previous dry seasons.This came at the backdrop of the scarcity of potable water in the valley areas of Manipur which is becoming more problematic due to the low level of water in the rivers and ponds.
While the arrival or non-arrival of the monsoon is out of our hands and we can only pray to the rain gods for the early arrival of the rains to replenish the rivers and ponds of the state with life-sustaining water, the people of the state can do themselves much good by preventing large scale deforestation which has led to the present problem of scarcity of water in the state. Deforestation can have catastrophic consequences in the next couple of decades if it is allowed to continue at the present rate.
