Navsari
(Gujarat):
Faced with acute water shortage due to the onset of summer, local
residents the Navsari District of Gujarat are having a very tough
time.
Masa and Movasa villages of the district present the women’s
hardship for water.
The women are the worst affected, as they have to stand in long
queues till late night for their turn to fetch water. Besides, these
women have to walk two to three kilometres to the village’s well to
obtain water.
There is only one well in the entire village that is crowded whole
day, forcing many women to queue up for water even at midnight.
“We face a lot of water shortage in our village and we have to come
here even at night to get water. We have to wait for two hours to
get water. Nearly 500 people come here every night to get water from
the well,” said Archana, a woman.
“I belong to this village and this has been a problem for the past
20 years. It affects not only the other adjacent villages but 700
people (of this village) also. We work so hard the whole day and
even at night we have to come and stand in a queue to get water,”
said Paresh Adharyu, a villager.
A heat wave sweeping India, with temperatures of almost 44 degree
Celsius, has caused water shortage in different parts of the
country.
The scorching weather, which officials say would continue over
northern, northwestern and central India for some days, also may
have some impact on the irrigation.
