The water shortage has caused significant financial losses for Waghmare, who had invested heavily in fertilisers, pesticides, labour, and water over 12 years. The destruction of his orchard has wiped out a critical source of income for his family. Other farmers in Ghansawangi tehsil face similar risks, with orchards requiring years to mature now at risk of drying up. Without immediate intervention, the crisis could deepen, exacerbating the financial strain on farming families and threatening the region's agricultural economy.
