Groundwater sustainability
Groundwater sustainability means managing underground water sources so they remain available and healthy for future use. It involves balancing how much water is pumped out with how much naturally recharges through rainfall and other sources. When groundwater is overused, it can lead to problems like land sinking, reduced water quality, and harm to ecosystems. Sustainable practices ensure we use groundwater wisely, avoiding depletion, and preserving this vital resource for communities, agriculture, and the environment over the long term. It requires responsible management, monitoring, and conservation efforts.
