Thank you Saurab. Groundwater exploitation is multidisciplinary and to achieve its sustainability it must be viewed at that perspective. Like you have mentioned the government (local, state and federal), scientists, public and corporate individuals must all work together and ensure that all that we do does not compromise sustainable development.

A lot of the issues are common to India as well, the difference being urban areas are more regulated in terms of it’s groundwater exploitation. Being a large country, the groundwater levels vary, and so do the types of pollution, so it is really up to state authorities and local scientists to work towards proper ground water management.
