Water crisis in Jim Corbett National Park Corbett
National Park (Uttaranchal): Authorities of Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand
are making efforts to provide adequate water for its animals. Due to rising temperature,
the sources of water like ponds and lakes in the area have dried up, causing great
deal of difficulty for the animals, who roam the forest in search of water. In
order to tackle this problem, authorities are supplying water to the water holes
and ponds through tankers and pipelines. "In total, there are 57 water holes and
we are trying to keep these filled up with water 24 hours. We supply water through
tankers and underlines," said V K Singhal, director, Corbett National Park . Sharad
Bisht, a forester says they have been directed to fill water ponds with water
regularly as it will be convenient for the animals and they don't have to search
for water. Also, for animals like tiger and elephants water is a must, as they
sit in the water ponds for long hours. -May
