Ground Water Level: A Comparative Study of Punjab and Haryana (Pre-Monsoon Session 2018)

The ground water is an important resource, it is used for many purpose. Generally, we used it for drinking purpose, because it is found pure and clean rather than other sources of water like, ocean, sea, lake, pond and river etc. Ground water is the main source of domestic and commercial use for many countries all over the world. Availability of ground water in a region is like a Blessing. It is a major Economic Changer for many countries. The importance of this resource is reflected in the reality that a person must access one cubic meter of high quality water for drinking each year and needs about 1000 times more than this amount to raise food for individual consumption. Ground water gives the soil moisture for plantation and growing seeds. So, it is very important aspect for food security of a nation. With 230 billion meter cube of ground water drawn out each year for irrigating agriculture lands in India, many parts of the country are experiencing rapid depletion of ground water. The total estimated ground water depletion in India is in the range of 122-199 billion meter cube The Indo-Gangetic plain, northwestern ,central and western parts of India account for most intensive ground water based irrigation. And among these regions, western India and the Indo-Gangetic Plain have more than 90% of the area irrigated using ground water. The preview of the present study is to examine the ground water level of Punjab and Haryana in 2018year (pre-monsoon season).
