Weak Monsoon in Goa Sparks Water, Crop Worries |

Goa experiences a 47% rainfall deficit this monsoon despite recording over 3,000mm of rain. The weaker monsoon compared to 2024 is raising alarms for farmers and local water resources.

Agriculture, especially paddy cultivation and horticulture, may face challenges due to insufficient rainfall, impacting crop yields and livelihoods.

Authorities are urging water conservation measures and proactive planning to mitigate potential shortages as the state navigates this below-average monsoon season.
