Water Crisis in Jharia #43988383
Description
In Jharia coalfield, the groundwater level is dependent mainly upon the presently existing topography, geomorphic features such as, abandoned channels, losing streams, etc. and human-induced recharge condition. Due to scarcity of drinking water and unhygienic condition around Jharia coal belt, the active population of the Jharia coalfield faces acute shortage of drinking water, which becomes even worse in the summer months. Some part of the coalfield faces water crisis so much so that the habitats use mine water discharge as potable water.
