Water crisis grips villages in Solapur, residents struggle with limited supply and high costs

Due to the water scarcity, farmers in the region have reportedly halted farming activities. With most of their groundwater resources already depleted, the villagers have no choice but to limit their daily water usage. They are resorting to collecting water in utensils placed under cots for bathing, and then reusing the same water for washing. Malan Bai, a resident of one of the affected villages, expressed her grievances, stating that they receive water only once every 15 days.
