Verified by Experts

Causes for decreasing ground water levels :
1) Varying monsoon behaviour in recent years, there is presurre on ground water utilizaton.
2) Indiscriminate tapping of ground water in our village by too much drilling and construction of deep tube wells and bore wells have resulted in over usage and depletion of ground water resources.
3) There will be no water scarcity if all the farmers of our village work collectively. Farmers in our village were encouraged to use water resource jointly and irrigate land using micro irrigation techniques. By using micro irrigation techniques farmers in our village obtained more crop yield. Farmers in our village follow the micro irrigation method i.e., drip irrigation and can reduce water consumption by 70% in our village.
4) Community based water shed managment will increase the groundwater level.
