WATER SCARCITY HITS CALANGUTE: RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS AFFECTED
Calangute, Goa – The scarcity of clean drinking water has become a major concern in Calangute, with residents and tourists alike struggling to access this basic necessity.

“We are facing a severe water crisis in Calangute,” said a local resident. “We are forced to rely on private water tankers, which are expensive and often unreliable.”
The Goa government has acknowledged the problem and has promised to take steps to improve the water supply and management in the area.
“We are working on a comprehensive plan to address the water scarcity issue in Calangute,” said a government official. “We will be investing in new water treatment plants and improving the existing infrastructure to ensure a steady supply of clean drinking water.”
In the meantime, residents and tourists are being forced to rely on alternative sources of water, including private tankers and bottled water.
The water scarcity issue in Calangute is not just a matter of convenience; it also has serious health implications. The lack of access to clean drinking water can lead to the spread of waterborne diseases, such as cholera and typhoid.
“We urge the government to take immediate action to address the water scarcity issue in Calangute,” said a local business owner. “This is not just a matter of providing a basic necessity; it is also essential for the health and well-being of our residents and tourists.”he further said
