The state of Meghalaya is rich in water resources, yet improper management has led to continuous water scarcity issues, particularly during the winter months. Local reservoirs and streams are beginning to dry up, which forces rural families to travel long distances in search of water. As temperatures drop, this need for effective water management becomes more pressing. Despite possessing adequate resources, the state’s inability to implement a structured extraction and management plan has left many communities vulnerable to the impacts of water shortages. Immediate action is critical to ensure that these essential resources are used effectively and made readily available to those who need them.
