Locals who live in the hills say rampant deforestation has led to the “forest rivers” going dry. These small rivers and streams used to be the major source of water for people living in the hills. Now locals are forced to look at other options

The central and eastern districts of Uttar Pradesh have registered below-average rainfall this monsoon season. Farmers in Mirzapur, the worst affected district, are reeling under drought-like conditions and praying it will rain so that they can sow their paddy.

When we started packing for our trip, just to be on the safe side, we stuffed 'self-defence weapons' in our bags, but they were of no use.During the course of our journey, I realised how badly we have abused nature and natural resources -- water, in particular. Saving water is truly the need of the day

Farmers in coastal areas of Bangladesh have freed the freshwater canals from encroachment to irrigate their fields and are cultivating three crops a year. Some of the farmers have adopted the floating method of vegetable cultivation in ponds for a higher produce. They no longer migrate to cities in search of work.

Many farmers in the region have locked their homes and are gone. Parched crops and dry hand pumps greet visitors. There is no water; none to drink, none for irrigation. Maharashtra's Marathwada region, heartland of farmer deaths, is going through a devastating summer
