SALTY WELLS AT CHORAO
Chorao is the
village of Tiswadi taluka in Goa,known for water scarcity. It is noticed that
the wells (primary sources of water of
the village) are turning in to salty
water wells. Mostly these wells dry out till the end of April. Therefore
villagers used to suffer due to water scarcity.But recently another problem
arrived when villagers noticed that water of their wells was turning in to
salty water. The reason behind this were the artificial fish ponds in khajan
area of the village.
These fish ponds were dug inorder to breed
tigerprowns but due to severe oposition this idea was dropped. ponds which were
dug were not covered so salty water accumulated in these ponds and the ground
water came in contect with the salty water. now if required measures are not
taken than all the wells of village might turn in to salty water wells.
