Taps spew muddy water in Manali

Shimla | Monday | 16th July, 2018

Summary:

MANALI: With every spell of rain, taps in people’s houses spew muddy water . “Water sources have a large catchment area and downpour causes mixing of suspended particles in the water. The catchment area of these streams has very less vegetation, which leads to mud sliding into water sources. The irrigation and public health department has been forced to disconnect supply.A number of villages in Manali get potable water supply from natural springs and streams. In the meantime, many parts of Kullu are getting less than normal rain and have limited water supply..
