 Groundwater levels are falling, and wells for household use and for irrigating farmland are running dry in some parts of Saligao, although other parts of the village are unaffected.The problem is very serious for household wells in Don Vaddo and parts of Sonarbhat, and for farmers in Mollembhat.Enough consumers are suffering serious problems to merit the SCCC (Saligao Civic and Consumers' Cell) taking up commercial groundwater extraction as a community issue."
