Over-extraction of groundwater is driven by India’s policy of providing free electricity to farmers and changing this is tantamount to political suicide. In the absence of controls on abstraction, the government’s focus has been on supply-side interventions via rainwater harvesting structures like check dams and field bunds. But artificial recharge does not create new water. Any water that recharges groundwater is water that does not flow downstream. While upstream farmers gain access to more water, this occurs at the expense of downstream flow.

Still, there is a consistent increase in the overall earth populace and this has been a critical factor in accelerating the depletion of natural resources.
