Water table reaching near lowest marks in 5 districts of Rajasthan

Published on by

In 5 districts of Rajasthan the water table has gone down to 60 metre. The water is available only upto 80 metre depth, as per report published in news paper Rajasthan Patrika.

Report says the water table will reach lowest mark of 80 metre in next 10 years. After that water will not be available even for drinking. This may be the position in other states also.

It is high time that Govt of India and state Govt. bring legislation to control use of ground water in such a manner that water table does not fall further in such areas. To implement effective ban on sowing of high water requirement crops may be the first step in this direction.
