A recent study has revealed that 360 out of the 1463 water bodies in Goa are currently out of use due to various reasons such as drying, siltation, and salinity. This alarming finding highlights the urgent need for conservation and restoration efforts to protect these vital resources in the region. The study also indicates that the decline in water body health is largely attributed to human activities like encroachment, pollution, and deforestation. Experts emphasize the importance of sustainable management practices to ensure the long-term availability of water bodies for both environmental and socio-economic purposes. The Goa government has been urged to take proactive measures to address these issues and promote the conservation of water bodies in the state. With the increasing threat of climate change and rapid urbanization, safeguarding these natural assets is crucial for maintaining ecological balance and supporting biodiversity. By raising awareness and implementing effective policies, Goa can work towards preserving its water bodies and securing a sustainable future for generations to come.
