“There is so much suffering from these #droughts. There is nothing to eat & no water for the animals,or even for birds," says Karabhai Aal from the maldhari community.Despite walking 800kms, they strugge to find pastures for their sheep, in the face of erratic #climate patterns. 
These #pastoralists who rarely own #land & use rain fed crops for animal fodder,are from the #drought prone Kachchh area that has been used by succesive govts to justify the #Narmada dam. sandrp.in/2018/09/02/guj… @NarmadaBachao @Indian_Rivers @medhanarmada @indiawater @UNDP_India
However, #pastoralists & small #farmers in the area who are most vulnerable to #ClimateChange receive only the residual #Narmada #water after the requirements of urban areas, #industries & #farmers in central #Gujarat are met. #HowDareYou ruralindiaonline.org/articles/count… @NamitaWaikar
