India faces water and power shortages after weak monsoon

India is facing severe water and power shortages due to a weak monsoon season. This has significant implications for the country's economy, particularly for farmers who rely on consistent rainfall to grow crops. The power system is also being affected, as hydroelectric power generation is reduced, leading to increased costs and potential energy shortages. This situation raises concerns about the economic costs of increasingly erratic rainfall and its impact on the country's overall stability.
