⚠️ Reported Local Issues
Sivaganga
Drought / Groundwater
Sivaganga is identified by hydrological researchers as one of Tamil Nadu's highest drought-risk districts, with irrigation covering only 76% of net sown area and yields below potential for staple crops; chronic water shortage has reportedly driven rural depopulation, with at least one village (Nadagudi) shrinking from roughly 5,000 residents toward near-abandonment by 2025.

Issues shown are sourced from dated news reports or published studies and reflect specific, verifiable reporting — not every concern residents may have. Coverage is uneven across districts by nature of available reporting.
