Edition-2
An ongoing study being conducted by the Central Ground Water Board in Gujarat has found that the water table in the state, which was depleting at a frightening pace until about seven years ago, is now going up, with the decade-long check dam drive being one of the main contribution factors. Another factor that has led to rise in the ground water table is the filling given by the Modi government to drip irrigation. Modi’s mantra has been:’ if you want to save future generations then recharge ground water instead of mercilessly exploiting it.” People are listening, especially farmers.
