Surendranagar Wadhwan only 19% rainfall in 2021, District has 17% usable water.

Key Points:

• Zalawad might see a water shortage issue after a long time. 
• Entire Surendranagar district rainfall till August 6 is 34%.
• The district still needs more 6inch rainfall so that the people of Zalawad don’t see the water shortage issue in 2021-22.
• Dams condition in Surendranagar District 2021.

Surendranagar District of Gujarat received good rainfall in the starting, but soon after a good start, Rain gods are not showing any mercy to the district. No rainfall is observed from Mid July 2021 to August 6, which is a worrying factor for Surendranagar District farmers and the people. 

Today most of the dams of Surendranagar are empty. According to the sources, three dams are totally empty, which is a big issue. If Surendranagar doesn’t receive rain in August, then the district will see a double loss.
