Rainfall Deficit Reduces Tourism and Water Levels at Kappattagudda Hill
Kappattagudda hill in North Karnataka, known for its monsoon mist and natural beauty attracting tourists, is experiencing a significant rainfall deficit this year. The reduced rain has led to less mist, drying water sources, and a decline in visitors. Local farmers and religious leaders express concern over the impact on vegetation, biodiversity, and surrounding farmland. Despite efforts like check dams and stone bunds to retain moisture, the ongoing drought threatens the area's ecological and tourism appeal.
