Village issues
In recent years, Saligao, which is just outside the North Goa beach-belt, has seen significant concerns over the large-scale sale of ground-water from a number of wells in the village, particularly at Donvaddo. There has also been concern raised by villagers over the dumping of garbage from the coastal belt on the hillock atop the village, partly on village lands and partly on land belonging to the Calangute comunidade but very close (and overlooking) the village. On December 12, 2002, a writ petition was filed over this issue in the Goa bench of the High Court of Bombay.
The petition challenged the selection of a garbage disposal site on the top of Saligao plateau, in the midst of a social forest plantation raised by the Goa government's Forest Department. It argued that the decision to locate the disposal site in this "inappropriate area" was made without following the procedures established by law, particularly the provision of Municipal Solid Waste Rules, 2000 issued under provisions of the Environment Protection Act, 1986. "The location is bound to have grievous consequences for the environment, health and water supplies," the petition filed by green lawyer Norma Alvares of the Goa Foundation argued.
On the groundwater issue, in May 2002, a study titled "Saligao's water crisis and commercial groundwater extraction" was released. Its summary said: "Extraction of groundwater for commercial sale outside the village has risen sharply in the last five years, to a level of up to 435,000 litres per day. Groundwater levels are falling, and wells for household use and for irrigating farmland are running dry in some parts of Saligao, although other parts of the village are unaffected. The problem is very serious for household wells in Don Vaddo and parts of Sonarbhat, and for farmers in Mollembhat. Enough consumers are suffering serious problems to merit the SCCC [Saligao Civic and Consumers' Cell] taking up commercial groundwater extraction as a community issue."
It noted that more than half of 28 household wells surveyed in Don Vaddo and Sonarbhat went dry in April/May 2001, a normal monsoon year. At least 138 consumers depend on these wells. Falling water levels in this area have coincided with a very rapid increase in commercial extraction from the local well.
Vagator is a relaxed, fairly undeveloped place. It has an excellent, hassle-free, mood. If you want to have a good time on the beach and want to party to the max, this is definitely the place to go. It is a really nice place, but if you consider yourself conservative, it is probably better to go to another beach.
Located here is Big Vagator beach to the north, a fairly long, wide, white-sand beach. Not many foreign tourists go to this beach, and in the afternoon Indian tourists invade it. Little Vagator beach (also called Ozran or Little Israel) is to the south. To get to this beach, you have to walk about a minute down a steep cliff. It is actually two beaches divided by a headway (rocks going out into the sea). The more northern beach of the two is smaller and more crowded. The south beach is fairly spread out and more secluded. It is a beautiful beach. This beach is mainly used by the young, hip, budget crowd with time on their hands who are in no hurry to go anywhere. Topless bathing is the norm on this beach, and no one seems to care.
Vagator consists of about ten hotels, twenty restaurants, and shops spread out over a few km. There are some houses (much less than the actual demand) here rented out to long-staying travelers. It can be difficult to find a place to stay, and if you come during the high-season, you will probably have to stay in Calangute or Baga for a few days while you wait for a vacancy.
