(a) the rate of depletion of ground water due to extraction of
ground water for agriculture purposes, State-wise?
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES (SHRI JAI PRAKASH NARAYAN YADAV)
The rate of depletion of ground water varies from place
to place depending upon many parameters like cropping
pattern, rainfall intensity, other uses etc. and therefore,
it could not be assigned to a single parameter like its use
for agriculture.
Long-term analysis of ground water levels by the
Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), under the Ministry of
Water Resources, indicated decline in ground water levels in
some parts of 362 districts of 23 States/Union Territories
in the country.
State-wise details thereof are given in Annexure.
