Taj Mahal faces severe water risks
A new report says nearly three out of four non-marine UNESCO World Heritage Sites are now threatened by drought, water stress, or flooding.
Big names like the Taj Mahal, Kaziranga National Park, and the Western Ghats are especially at risk.
The Taj Mahal's situation is worrying—falling Yamuna River levels mean more pollution and less groundwater, which isn't great for the monument or the people nearby.
Need for better water management to save these landmarks
It's not just about pretty places—water shortages can actually weaken structures like the Taj Mahal.
By 2050, even more sites could be in trouble as water stress grows worldwide, especially in regions already struggling with river management.
Other famous spots like Iraq's Ahwar and Mexico's Chichen Itza are facing similar challenges.
Experts say better water management is key if we want to protect these irreplaceable landmarks for future generations.
