Summary:
“Latur district as a whole recorded nearly 501mm rainfall, which accounts for 62% of its normal rainfall. Sources said that some areas of Latur district may require tanker service in summer. This has warded off the need for water tankers,” Osmani said.Along with Latur, Parbhani and Hingoli districts have also not made any requisition for water tanker so far. Relatively better rainfall and plethora of conservation work has paid rich dividends for Latur.At present, while most parts of the parched Marathwada region are leaning on tankers, Latur district has not pressed even a single tanker into service. Parbhani district reported average 62% of average rainfall, while Hingoli district registered 76% of average rainfall.Similar to Hingoli, Nanded district registered 12% more rainfall this monsoon than previous year..
