Drought in India

Lake Kava, the largest body of water close to the city of Latur has dried up completely. Locals are now digging up the soil at the bottom of the former lake, as it contains remnants of moisture that can be used on their farms nearby. This activity also serves to deepen the lake bed so that more water can be retained when the monsoon arrives in late June.
