Question

: Groundwater in India
Recent evidence suggests that the groundwater is under
serious threat of overuse in many parts of the country. About
300 districts have reported a water levt decline of over 4 metres
during the past 20 years. Nearly one third of the country is
overusing their groundwater reserves. In another 25 years.
60 per cent of the country would be doing the same if the present
way of using this resource continues, Groundwater overuse is
particularly found in the agriculturally prosperous regions of
Punjab and Western U.P., hard rock plateau areas of central and
south India, some coastal areas and the rapidly growing urban
settlements.

Explanation:

WHAT IS GROUNDWATER?

Groundwater is used for drinking water by more than 50 percent of the people in the United States, including almost everyone who lives in rural areas. The largest use for groundwater is to irrigate crops.

Groundwater can be found almost everywhere. The water table may be deep or shallow; and may rise or fall depending on many factors. Heavy rains or melting snow may cause the water table to rise, or heavy pumping of groundwater supplies may cause the water table to fall.
