Other

Located in the drought zone, Pamur receives inadequate water from rainfall to support the local population. Local ground water in the area contains fluorine, and due to this contamination, consumption of the ground water causes fluorosis, a potentially debilitating disease affecting bones and joints. Residents must therefore buy bottled water, and many citizens are demanding water to be transported to Pamur from the reservoir of the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam.
