The Keystone Foundation provides an overview of the drinking water resources in Kookal and Kagguchi Town Panchayat, highlighting the critical need for restoration and management of these sources due to their depletion and contamination. It details the reliance of local communities on a limited number of wells and bore wells, which often run dry, especially during summer months, and discusses the adverse effects of invasive species and poor waste management on water quality. The report emphasizes the importance of conservation efforts, such as restoring spring-shed areas and improving infrastructure, to ensure a sustainable water supply for the residents. It also addresses the broader implications of groundwater depletion on the local ecosystem, including the impact on wildlife and the hydrological cycle, urging immediate action to mitigate these challenges.
