Science to beyond science - to govern groundwater sustainably
Modelling or divining are two different methods used by scientists and farmers to trace groundwater availability in Tamil Nadu and can play an important role in sustainable management and governance of groundwater in the state. Posted on 26 Apr, 2023 01:16 AM

The state of Tamil Nadu depends heavily on groundwater for domestic, industrial, and agricultural use and this has led to rapid depletion of groundwater resources in the state.  Over-extraction in hard, arid rock areas like the districts of Dharmapuri and the alluvial Cauvery delta is very high and farmers continue to drill deeper wells.
