1. As individuals, one of the things we can do to make a difference is to use less water for luxury purposes. We must all address the issue of groundwater depletion. Considering the impending crisis of a mass water shortage, everyone should do their part to use less water whenever possible. Water is used so freely that it is often part of outdoor decor ideas and used for major attractions, such as amusement parks.
Throughout countless neighborhoods, large amounts of water are used for swimming pools while water hoses are kept running to wash cars and for other miscellaneous reasons. We conserve water when we turn off the faucet and reduce our usage of washing machines, dishwashers and similar appliances. Also, we save a massive amount of water by deciding not to use water for decorative and unnecessary reasons at home.
2. We should reduce our use of chemicals and dispose of them properly. Many people are not paying attention and are simply unaware of how important it is to keep pollution from occurring beneath the ground. The water from businesses and private residences that run into the streets and sewage systems are commonly laden with chemicals. These chemicals find their way into larger bodies of water and absorb into the ground, poisoning animals and the soil. By using less chemicals and discarding of them carefully, we keep them from adding toxic materials into our water supply.
3. More comprehensive research and additional funding can help with groundwater depletion. The best way to approach the topic of groundwater depletion and to find a solution is to think on both a personal and government level. Laws that are in place for the pumping of groundwater should be more strict and follow specific regulations.
There are many scientists, researchers, and sustainable companies that remind us how important it is to know the amount of groundwater we actually have. They also believe that many of the policies we have should be changed with the consideration of saving groundwater in mind instead of treating it like an endless resource.
4. One of the most effective ways to address the issue of groundwater depletion is to find alternative sources of water. Alternative water sources can be used to help replenish aquifers. Deriving water from other sources would also give aquifers time to refill instead of pumping too much water from them at once.
5. The pumping of groundwater should be regulated. If we don’t have a better understanding of our groundwater supply, then we can easily use much more than we should. Understandably, more funding should be granted towards researching our groundwater supply instead of just pumping the water, so that we can set limits and better pace our usage. Additional funding should be given to support initiatives that not only study the supply of groundwater we have, but also seek to find sustainable ways to use less of it.

It is generally seen that we use more water for bathing and washing than is necessary. This needs to be checked and controlled. We must also prevail on our family members, friends and neighbours to reduce the quantity of water they use everyday for bathing and washing.
In order that the underground water table does not go down further we must first check on our usage of water, as above. Secondly, the Government must regulate on the digging of wells and pumping of underground water through tubewells. In place of such sources of water, we must ensure better water supply by our municipalities or panchayats through taps, else the water table everywhere is bound to go down further and further. The Government or local bodies must tap river water and introduce rainwater collection methods rather than excessively look for underground sources of water as it is the best reserve of water we have and its depletion would be disastrous. 
By adopting the above steps we can ensure that the underground water table does not go down further.
