Marathwada drought caused by man-made factors: Study
The 2015-16 drought in Maharashtra's Marathwada was caused not by climate change but poor management of water resources, a study stated. The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology and the Indian Institute of Science analysed 145 years of monsoon to arrive at the conclusion. Although Marathwada is drought prone, the magnitude of last year's drought could have been reduced, it added.
