Snaps in this post per Kind favour Ms Trina.
The Monsoons have been extreme and variable over the Abode of the gods since the year 2010. The dry spell that haunted Mount Abu prior to 2010 was over. All our water bodies, the lake, reservoirs and other small water bodies since have all overflowed.
Last year, torrents of sudden record-breaking rainfall devastated Abu. Mt. Abu: Received 141mm on 23rd July 773 on 24th July and 734mm on 25th July 1698mm in 3 days “On 23 July 2017” Mount Abu Recorded the highest-ever recorded rainfall in its history in the last 100 years.
The changing climate scenario, over the last decade, goes to show that there is an increase of weird and extreme monsoon seasons that pose catastrophic events of flooding or drought in an area not affected before.
In contrast to the last 8 years of recording plentiful rain, this season so far has been below average. The Nakki lake has still 31/2 feet to overflow. Our Lower Kodra dam our main water supplying dam needs another 20 feet of water to overflow.

20 Feet to GO.
It's doubtful if the rain gods change their favour and smile upon their Abode and shower some more rain to tide us over for the year of 2019. We Abuites will just have to resign to the fact that our water supply will continue every alternate day or if the need is every third day. The days are still cloudy but, the weather report has confirmed the retreat of the monsoons in our area.
