Here is how I ruined a fruit for myself. I’m in Nagpur. This is an orange farm and this is an orange tree. India gets its largest supply of oranges from here. National Research Center for Citrus says a mature orange tree on an average consumes 40 liters of water per day.
It takes 4 years for an orange tree to bear fruit. If the water needs are met adequately then each tree produces 20 kilograms of fruit. So each orange that you eat takes about 4300 liters to grow.
There. If Maharashtra is running out of water then maybe, just maybe this could be one of the reasons. If I ever eat an orange again, I’ll know at what cost. #water #crisis
