Karimnagar district is witnessing a sharp decline in groundwater levels, with several borewells drying up and concerns growing over drinking water availability and irrigation. Officials warn that inadequate monsoon rainfall could worsen the situation, affecting agriculture and reservoir inflows.
Residents, especially farmers, are forced to rely on bore wells to meet their water needs, as the Mission Bhagiratha project has not been able to provide a consistent supply of safe drinking water in certain pockets
During the tenure of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, Telangana experienced the highest groundwater rise in the country, transforming even dry lands into rich groundwater zones
