Many water resources of the district have dried up. Gradually
the ground water level is also depleting. All this is leading to
water scarcity in the district.
Deforestation is increasing the rate of soil erosion, thus affecting
the natural flow of the near by rivers.
Governments policies for constructing dams in and across the district
is affecting the fishing and farming communities.
