Scarcity of Drinking water/Ground water in India affects directly on women health

Edition-2

There is a common phrase among the woman’s in the villages of Bundilkhand at Madhya Pradesh “let the husband die, but concentrate on the water pot, which should not be broken by falling from head”. This phrase prove that how the woman’s from the villages of India work hard for collecting drinking water for the sake of their family from inaccessible area. In this area, from many years no rain have been fallen & the farming land is dried up totally. The farmer whose main source of leaving is farming forced to take credit from richer people mortgaging his land, wife, and children on greater rate of interest. When he fails to repay the money, the richer people sell farmer’s wife & girl to the red light area.
In India 90% of ground water are used for irrigation purpose. In addition, with respect to this NASA warned, that the groundwater level of north India fall drastically. The condition of groundwater at Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan are worsening with time. According to Central Ground Water Board the ground water level at north India along with Jharkhand, Bihar, Assam, Orissa & the plain land/Gangetic West Bengal decreases uncontrollably.
