Water Shortages


The huge increase of visitor to Palolem has been responsible for the severe water shortages that have afflicted Canacona district over the past three years. The municipality seems reluctant or unable to do anything about the trouble, so the onus falls on tourists to use as little water as possible during their stay. One of the most effective ways you can do this is to avoid water-toilets, which dump a colossal quantity of untreated sewage into often poorly manufactured septic tanks below the ground. Traditional pig loos, still common in the village, are a far cleaner, greener option.
