Inside the deadly water crisis in Rajasthan!

Aapke gaaon ya sheher ki sabse badi samasya kya hai? Comments mein batao.

Rajasthan’s water problem is not new.
In 2024, water availability is less than 35% of the previous year
In many arid parts of Rajasthan tap water is available for just one hour every four days.
It has also been found that out of 302 areas, identified as sources of groundwater, 219 have been overexploited
The Indira Gandhi Canal has reversed desertification and improved the climate for plant growth in Rajasthan though Jaisalmer has shown to have the best results.
UNICEF in 2020 had in fact reported that drinking water pipelines from the Indira Gandhi Canal were being built but had reached few villages at the time.
The groundwater level in Rajasthan has been falling by 1 metre a year, as shown by studies
Why is it that despite projects like the Indira Gandhi Canal, many regions in Rajasthan still face water shortages due to limited reach, inefficient distribution, and reduced safe drinking water availability?

Guess my District in 6 hints. 1. Its known as city of gates. 2. It has a Kailash temple which is carved from top to bottom on a single huge stone. 3. We have the longest earthen dam in India. 4. its a drought prone region. 5. It has a subdivision which was the capital of India under Satvahana rule. 6. We have a fort which was quiet impossible to capture it. 👍

[@thanvipradhuman]

Hello KK Create, I recently came across your videos about Rajasthan's Thar Desert and I was really glad to see someone raising these issues. I live in Phalodi, right in the heart of the Thar Desert, and I believe that more voices like yours are needed to bring attention to our region. The Thar Desert is vast, covering areas like: Bikaner, Jodhpur, Phalodi, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Nagaur, Pali, Churu, Shri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Sikar, Sirohi, Jalor The problems here are numerous, but the people have become so accustomed to them that they often don't realize the severity. Given that this region also borders Pakistan, it's a critical international boundary as well. We are eager to collaborate with you to highlight the issues of the Thar Desert on a larger platform like your channel. Our team is always ready to work towards raising awareness and bringing change. Thank you for covering our problems and helping us amplify our voices. Best regards, Pradhuman Thanvi 🏜

[@sonalisaini5463]

I'm from Sri Ganganagar, but my village is in suratgarh where there's water scarcity too. My whole life I lived in the city and never experienced that extreme level of water scarcity but when at the age of 23, I went to my village and lived there for 1 year, I realized the importance of water, there were certain days when there was no water in the house. Now, from past couple of years, I'm living in Canada and I see lot of lakes and ponds. Being a Rajasthani, I know the true value of water and living in the country with abundance of water, I still try to minimize my water consumption.

Literally crying after watching your last documentary about Rajasthan. We are living in almost same situation on the other side of the border, Thar Pakistan. No doubt, people of our area are resilient, hospitable, friendly & optimistic. They love their land despite the unfriendly desert. Its heartening to see that Govt has taken serious steps by building Indra Gandhi canal, but that's not enough. What's more important is that the western feminists who never cease crying about their rights never bother to see women struggling for survival, depsite all this women are independent & stable. I have never seen in my life any strong woman in life more stronger than my grandma, who is now in her late 90s. I even can't imagine how she weathered all these situations, but she never bowed before circumstances. Hope the youngsters of this area can do something for their area. Leaving their maternal villages & migrating to cities is & has never been a viable option but alleviating the situation of our villagers is something they should strive for. Thar is just love❤❤
