Wildlife in Kawal Tiger Reserve facing drinking water shortage

Deccan Chronicle  

Adilabad: As temperatures in Adilabad district touched 42 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, many ponds and other drinking water sources within Kawal Tiger Reserve have dried up. Some of the wild animals, especially antelopes, are coming close to canals and water bodies on outskirts of villages in search of drinking water. Though forest officials have dug saucer pits and are filling them with water using solar water pumps in core area of Kawal Tiger Reserve, they are apparently insufficient. K. Rakesh of Kadam mandal underlined that forest officials should take measures to provide drinking water to wildlife within the forests in the wake of soaring temperatures.
