Once known for carrying water throughout the year, the river now has only small patches of water even during the monsoon.
Residents recall that the Kanthal River once remained filled with water for all 12 months and served as an important water source for surrounding areas.
Over the years, its water flow gradually declined, with substantial water being seen mainly during the rainy season. This year, however, even the monsoon has failed to bring sufficient flow.
The shortage of continuous rainfall has prevented the river’s water level from rising. In several stretches, the riverbed is clearly visible, with only small pools of water remaining.
Residents fear that if good rainfall does not occur soon, groundwater recharge and other water sources could also be affected.
The situation has also worried farmers, as timely rainfall is crucial for standing kharif crops. Farmers are waiting for sufficient rain to improve both crop conditions and water availability.
Residents said the Kanthal River is an important part of Susner’s identity and urged for its revival. They hope the monsoon will strengthen in the coming days and restore water flow in the river.
