Groundwater levels have declined significantly across several mandals in Karimnagar district, raising concerns among farmers and residents. Many borewells have either dried up or are yielding less water than usual.
The decline is being attributed to inadequate rainfall, increased groundwater extraction, and rising temperatures. Areas that traditionally had sufficient water reserves are now witnessing shortages.
Farmers fear that the falling water table may affect irrigation during the upcoming agricultural season. Reduced water availability could impact both crop yields and cultivation plans.
Officials have urged farmers to adopt water-saving irrigation methods and rainwater harvesting practices to help conserve groundwater resources for the future.
