The heat has been really oppressive this last fortnight and I could not make up my mind to brave the direct scorching heat of the summer sun. I did venture out after 6 pm. I wanted to see how the water holes were fairing this summer, the situation is grim , all water bodies that serve as watering spots for the animals have run bone dry ,there is just enough water in one or two spots to last for may be another 10 days. The pictures I’m posting will give you an idea of what the bleak future for the wild animals will be in another few weeks if the monsoons are delayed.
The water level at the Trevor Tank in the heart of the sanctuary is only 50%
Another few days to go before the Dhoondai stream runs dry
The Minni Nakki lake bone dry
The lake on the way to Achalgarh Bone dry
The minni Nakki Lake "Some Lake"
The Jawai Catchement area on the way to Guru shaker
Another few days to go and a village with depleated water supply
The Nakki lake a sight for sore eyes
A lake with all its ribs exposed
Tankers waiting in line at Oria
Another lot at another fuitful water well Oria
