Village has been water rich but due to increasing population and lack of awareness for water conservation, water level goes down and due to which summers becoming hard for people nowadays. Most of hand pumps and wells dries during summer. However, supply of water is available periodically morning-evening but it is also subject to availability of electricity. One of the major issue which has been faced by farmers in past years was irrigation of crops because most of the existing old Pumps were not working at all due to Lack of Water level but this has been resolved a bit, because there are a few New Submersible Pumps installed in 2019 (private, with the help of Govt. subsidies), which allows farmers to irrigate their crops at lower rates than earlier.
