Groundwater Crises in India
As Thomas Fuller had said "We never know the worth of water till the well is dry." We humans today have abundance of data, data with the help of which we can anticipate the future of the natural resources on the planet. Water being one of the most precious natural resources should be given adequate attention. With the help of this paper we have tried to review, recall and recalibrate our vision on the ongoing as well as imminent dearth of water in India. This paper provides an analysis of data provided by different government agencies. We in this paper have captured the sorry state of affairs prevailing in states owing to the government's inability to stop wastage of water, in contrast to its inability to provide for clean water to the needy. This paper ends with suggestions to help us utilise the water while not wasting it.
