The disruption of the Indian monsoon due to El Niño could lead to below-average rainfall and drought conditions, significantly affecting agriculture, water availability, and aquaculture. Shrimp farmers in India may face reduced water supplies and less rainfall, which could impact pond salinity and shrimp growth. These risks are compounded by the broader implications of El Niño, such as altered atmospheric circulation and temperature patterns, which may exacerbate water stress and agricultural challenges across the region.
