💧Groundwater is important for irrigated agriculture, but its intensive pumping damages the environment & ecosystems. Intensive withdrawals can deplete streams, rivers & lakes & can cause sometimes irreversible salinization of aquifers in coastal areas. 📷@unescoWATER @mevpr

Longterm replenishing of reservoirs (and recharging of aquifers) requires healing degraded soil in a watershed to enable it to infiltrate rain more quickly and store vastly more water. “Each 1% ⬆️ in soil organic matter helps soil hold add’l 20k gals/ac.” nrdc.org/experts/lara-bryant…

Organic Matter Can Improve Your Soil's Water Holding Capacity

Okay, soil nerds. I've seen this factoid everywhere, haven't you? "Each 1 percent increase in soil organic matter helps soil hold 20,000 gallons more water per acre." But NRDC's soil team wanted to...

We have not suffecient provision to rain harvesting, lack of cannal, big issue of gravity, irrigation dependency of ground water,now climate change irregularities of rain ,drought,floods r most effected Ground water level r day by day deepest at last there r groundwater is nil

It is v necessary to provide subsidies of drip irrigation,solar panels is very effectively work always minimum use of ground water harvesting. Policy makers to have invest huge amount to be provision made in annual budget
