what is the availability of water on urban areas of Jharkhand
Answers
Answer:
Jharkhand, known for its lush green forests spread across a dozen river basins, is under severe water stress. Niti Aayog's recently released report on water management has underscored the vital importance of lakes and small water bodies in maintaining the fragile balance between Jharkhand’s groundwater and rain-fed hydrological system.
Explanation:
According to a report released by Ranchi Municipal Corporation late last year, the city boasted around 100 lakes and small waterbodies forty years ago but only 42 remain. As a report by the state agriculture department notes, in eastern Singhbhum district (Jamshedpur), there used to be 850 government-owned water bodies but 310 of them have vanished.
Answer:
Since the formation of Jharkhand as a separate state from Bihar, the population has increased and several multi-storeyed buildings have come up. These buildings go for deep boring and as a result all the ground water is being pumped out from the ground. Every inch of land is being used up to build concrete structures and buildings. Therefore, there is no place left for the rainwater to seep into the ground, so the water level is not even being recharged as much as it should.
