&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of October, the Maharashtra government declared drought in 151 taluks in 26 of 36 districts, mostly in the Marathwada region and in the north. Experts said rainfall had been below par in large swathes of the State and faulty water conservation methods had added to the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;How serious is it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The total number of villages affected by the drought &amp;mdash; though the government has not shared figures &amp;mdash; is likely to be more than 10,000. With water levels dipping in many areas, the government said this week that it is seeking ?7,000 crore in Central assistance for drought mitigation, including crop loans for farmers, transport of water and arranging fodder for animals. The first quarter of 2019 will be spent tackling drought, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told The Hindu. The Opposition has said the situation is worse than the 1972 drought, the worst in the history of the State since Independence. It has accused the government of working only from Twitter and losing touch with reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Which area is worst hit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As of November 16, water storage in all dams stood at 55.25% of the total capacity. On the same day last year, the storage was 73.91%. The Marathwada division is the worst affected region, with the total water storage down to 22.17%, as against 68.34% last year. The Nashik division (in north Maharashtra), too, has witnessed a drop in water levels to 58.56% from 83.23% last year. In the week starting November 12, Maharashtra had deployed 680 water tankers, supplying to 565 villages and 1,113 hamlets. Last year, the number of tankers used was 89, supplying to 114 villages. In its 2018-19 report, the Groundwater Surveys and Development Agency (GSDA) said a comparative study of water levels in October in the last five years had shown that there was a decrease, at some places by more than a metre.&lt;br /&gt;

Experts said rainfall had been below par in large swathes of the State and faulty water conservation methods had added to the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;How serious is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The total number of villages affected by the drought &amp;mdash; though the government has not shared figures &amp;mdash; is likely to be more than 10,000. With water levels dipping in many areas, the government said this week that it is seeking ?7,000 crore in Central assistance for drought mitigation, including crop loans for farmers, transport of water and arranging fodder for animals. The first quarter of 2019 will be spent tackling drought, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told The Hindu. The Opposition has said the situation is worse than the 1972 drought, the worst in the history of the State since Independence. It has accused the government of working only from Twitter and losing touch with reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Which area is worst hit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of November 16, water storage in all dams stood at 55.25% of the total capacity. On the same day last year, the storage was 73.91%. The Marathwada division is the worst affected region, with the total water storage down to 22.17%, as against 68.34% last year. The Nashik division (in north Maharashtra), too, has witnessed a drop in water levels to 58.56% from 83.23% last year. In the week starting November 12, Maharashtra had deployed 680 water tankers, supplying to 565 villages and 1,113 hamlets. Last year, the number of tankers used was 89, supplying to 114 villages. In its 2018-19 report, the Groundwater Surveys and Development Agency (GSDA) said a comparative study of water levels in October in the last five years had shown that there was a decrease, at some places by more than a metre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/why-is-maharashtra-reeling-under-drought/article25527179.ece&quot; title=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/why-is-maharashtra-reeling-under-drought/article25527179.ece&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of October, the Maharashtra government declared drought in 151 taluks in 26 of 36 districts, mostly in the Marathwada region and in the north. Experts said rainfall had been below par in large swathes of the State and faulty water conservation methods had added to the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;How serious is it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The total number of villages affected by the drought &amp;mdash; though the government has not shared figures &amp;mdash; is likely to be more than 10,000. With water levels dipping in many areas, the government said this week that it is seeking ?7,000 crore in Central assistance for drought mitigation, including crop loans for farmers, transport of water and arranging fodder for animals. The first quarter of 2019 will be spent tackling drought, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told The Hindu. The Opposition has said the situation is worse than the 1972 drought, the worst in the history of the State since Independence. It has accused the government of working only from Twitter and losing touch with reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Which area is worst hit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As of November 16, water storage in all dams stood at 55.25% of the total capacity. On the same day last year, the storage was 73.91%. The Marathwada division is the worst affected region, with the total water storage down to 22.17%, as against 68.34% last year.

<em>What happened?<br />
</em><br />
At the end of October, the Maharashtra government declared drought in 151 taluks in 26 of 36 districts, mostly in the Marathwada region and in the north. Experts said rainfall had been below par in large swathes of the State and faulty water conservation methods had added to the problem.<br />
<br />
<em>How serious is it?<br />
</em><br />
The total number of villages affected by the drought &mdash; though the government has not shared figures &mdash; is likely to be more than 10,000. With water levels dipping in many areas, the government said this week that it is seeking ?7,000 crore in Central assistance for drought mitigation, including crop loans for farmers, transport of water and arranging fodder for animals. The first quarter of 2019 will be spent tackling drought, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told The Hindu. The Opposition has said the situation is worse than the 1972 drought, the worst in the history of the State since Independence. It has accused the government of working only from Twitter and losing touch with reality.<br />

Why is Maharashtra reeling under drought? -Alok Deshpande

-The Hindu What happened? At the end of October, the Maharashtra government declared drought in 151 taluks in 26 of 36 districts, mostly in the Marathwada region and in the north. Experts said rainfall had been below par in large swathes of the State and faulty water conservation methods had added to the problem. How serious is it? The total number of villages affected by the drought — though the government has not shared figures — is likely to be more than 10,000. With water levels dipping in many areas, the government said this week that it is seeking ?7,000 crore in Central assistance for drought mitigation, including crop loans for farmers, transport of water and arranging fodder for animals.
