That India is on the verge of a serious water crisis is a foregone conclusion. So much so that the possibility of water riots in the future can't be ruled out. And it's not that the farmers of Vidarbha in Maharashtra or Bundelkhand in Uttar Pradesh are the only casualties of depleting groundwater level.
LUCKNOW: The delay by the Central and state groundwater boards in releasing the 2008 groundwater assessment report might dislodge the huge efforts made by the state groundwater department and crores of rupees being pumped in by the government to replenish the fast depleting groundwater reservoirs in UP.
Jammu: Even as the government claims it has contingency plans ready to overcome water crisis during peak summer days, the state, particularly its dry land (kandi) areas, including the winter capital, may face a real tough time in days to come.
