Groundwater in the alluvial systems
-
Description
-
Groundwater management in alluvial aquifer systems, particularly in regions like Neemrana, Rajasthan, presents challenges due to slow recharge and significant vulnerabilities. Effective water management strategies are essential, emphasizing the need for local governance to regulate groundwater use and implement best practices. In North Bihar, where 80% of water sources are groundwater-based, issues like drinking water scarcity and contamination during floods highlight the urgent need for improved sanitation and access to safe water. Reviving traditional water management systems and focusing on recharge structures near ridges can enhance groundwater sustainability in these areas.
