What is the current situation of water bodies in Kashmir
The water bodies across Kashmir have frozen and the minimum temperature is below freezing point.
The current situation of water bodies in Kashmir is as follows:
- Water bodies across Kashmir have frozen due to the extremely cold weather conditions. The region experiences sub-zero temperatures during winter, causing the freezing of lakes, rivers, and other water bodies.
- The minimum temperature in Kashmir is below the freezing point, further contributing to the freezing of water bodies. This makes it challenging for people to access water for daily needs.
- The frozen water bodies have also impacted the local livelihoods, particularly those dependent on fishing and other water-related activities. Fishermen and other workers have limited or no access to the frozen lakes, affecting their income and livelihoods.
- The frozen lakes and rivers also pose challenges for transportation and communication. Traditional means of transportation, such as boats and ferries, are unable to operate due to the frozen water bodies.
- The frozen water bodies in Kashmir often attract tourists, who enjoy activities like ice skating and ice fishing. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions, tourism has been significantly reduced during this winter season.
