Koppal: Farmer finally gets water after one and half decades and 150 borewells

Koppal: A 53-year-old farmer’s efforts finally paid off last week when he hit the waterhole after digging borewells 150 times.

Ashok’s success was nothing less than any festivity for the joint family living in Kuthaganahalli village.

Reportedly, in the last one week, Ashok’s family have got four borewells and the family now think that their efforts of one and half decades have finally been fruitful.

Several areas in Koppal district are water parched and the underground water table is sometimes too deep. The experts feel that for the last two years the region has received good rainfall increasing the underground water.
