Seawater intrusion turning Gajuwaka borewells salty

Resident-VSKP-7001 · Visakhapatanam, Andhra Pradesh · 20 May 2026, 10:47 AM · Water Resources / Irrigation
Borewells across parts of Gajuwaka have turned brackish over recent weeks and the piped supply is irregular, so families are buying cans daily. People suspect over-extraction near the coast plus intrusion. A crew is checking the line today. Requesting tanker support and a longer-term source plan, since working-class households are worst hit.
