KARNAH, FEB 04 – The vital Nallah Bata Moji, which supplies 80% of irrigation water to the population of Karnah, is on the verge of drying up. This river, originating from the Shamsabari Mountain and meeting Nallah Kazinag near Chanipura, has long been the backbone of the irrigation system, serving nearly 30 villages. However, a mix of climate change, pollution, and negligence has put this lifeline at risk.

Climate Change & Lack of Snowfall
Traditionally, Karnah would receive heavy snowfall from November to March, ensuring a steady water supply to its streams and fields. However, this year, the region has faced an alarming lack of rainfall and snowfall, leading to the drying up of this crucial water source. The shrinking of the river has left farmers worried about crop failure, food shortages, and economic losses.

Pollution Worsens the Crisis
Besides climate change, rampant pollution is accelerating the degradation of Nallah Bata Moji. Harmful chemicals, plastics, and contaminants are regularly discharged into the river. Key factors contributing to pollution include:
Garbage dumping: Plastics, household waste, and sewage are being disposed of directly into the river.
Agricultural runoff: Fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides used in farming seep into the water, making it toxic.
Industrial waste & human activities: The unchecked disposal of pollutants is further deteriorating water quality.

Residents Call for Immediate Action
The people of Karnah have raised their voices, urging the administration to intervene before it’s too late. Immediate measures such as river conservation, waste management, and strict pollution control policies are needed to revive the dying river and safeguard the livelihoods of thousands.

The drying up of Nallah Bata Moji is a wake-up call for both the administration and residents. If swift action is not taken, the region’s agriculture, environment, and water security will continue to suffer, leading to an irreversible crisis.
