Water Crisis Karnataka
High Heat and Risks to Animals

Water Shortage in Karnataka

Karnataka's districts are experiencing temperatures soaring to 40 degrees, leading to water shortages that threaten daily life and livestock management.

Farmers and cattle grazers must adopt measures to combat the heatwave's effects.

For crop care, implement light, frequent irrigation, especially during critical growth stages, and use mulch to conserve soil moisture.

Watering should occur in the evening or early morning, with sprinkler irrigation being of advantage.

For livestock, ensure they have access to shade and ample cool water. Avoid making them work from 11 am to 4 pm, and enhance shed cooling with straw roofs or fans.

By following these practices, you can mitigate the impact of heatwaves on farming and livestock.
