According to a new study sponsored by the University of Michigan, farmers in India have reacted to rising temperatures by increasing groundwater withdrawal for irrigation. If current trends continue, groundwater loss might triple by 2080, endangering India's food and water security.
In its ongoing mission to conserve groundwater, the Uttar Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is working on constructing groundwater charging stations in 13 districts of the state at a cost of Rs 8 crore, according to officials.
