Water in a newly dug, 18-foot-wide well at Viperda village in Gujarat’s Morbi district has been moving up and down like waves, while nearby wells remain still. The district collector has ordered an investigation, and no official cause has been established. Geologist Nitish Priyadarshi listed underground aquifer pressure, geological movement and a minor earthquake as possible explanations. He said the cause can be assessed only after checking the well’s depth and local geology. Officials plan to study groundwater, water chemistry, soil structure and seismic activity. Authorities have urged residents not to spread unverified claims while monitoring continues.
