SRINAGAR: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in a recent announcement, has drawn attention to the worrying state of Wular and Dal lakes.
Satellite imagery has uncovered a disconcerting trend of decline in these vital water bodies over the past few years.
The tweet from NASA featured a captivating image urging viewers to closely examine the photo and differentiate between land and water. “The lakes, once thriving reservoirs, now face significant challenges that threaten their sustainability and the communities that rely on them.”
Look closely. 🧐 Can you tell what’s land and what’s water?
