A number of natural water bodies across Uttarakhand have dried up leading to a virtual crisis in villages especially in the summer. According to estimates, almost 60% of all water sources have dried up in the hills. Water scarcity in some districts like Rudraprayag has been so acute that it has driven villagers to sit on protests demanding that something be done urgently to solve the water crisis.
