🌊 Water Management Challenges in Odisha

Odisha’s water ecosystem is a complex interplay of extremes—abundant rainfall, devastating floods, persistent droughts, and uneven distribution. Key challenges include:

  • Frequent Flooding in Coastal Areas
    Cyclones and heavy monsoons often lead to waterlogging and riverine floods in Puri, Kendrapara, and Jagatsinghpur.
  • Drought in Western Districts
    Kalahandi, Bolangir, and Nuapada suffer water scarcity during peak summers due to poor water retention and dry riverbeds.
  • Unbalanced Water Supply
    Despite good rainfall, lack of integration between surface water and groundwater leads to localized water shortages.
  • Groundwater Depletion in Cities
    Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and industrial zones face over-extraction and minimal recharge, putting pressure on aquifers.
