₹12 crore sought for implementation of summer action plan
Around 23% of the habitations in East Godavari district, most of them in the Godavari delta, are staring at drinking water problem this summer.
Statistics available with the Rural Water Supply Department suggest that 796 habitations of the total 3,467 in the district are likely to face scarcity of drinking water from mid-May.
These habitations mostly depend on the groundwater which they fetch from borewells. The mandal-level committees have already completed a field survey to identify the available surface and groundwater sources and the maintenance status of the summer storage tanks.
