Millennium City Gurugram May Soon Go Dry As Water Table Is Depleting Every Day

The Niti Ayaog report on water has made a startling revelation about the depleting water tables in various cities across the country. According to the report, by 2030, there could be a huge water crisis in India, if immediate actions are not taken to restore water bodies in the country. The situation is even worse in the new cities that are being built keeping in mind the needs of international visitors and top brass of the large corporate houses. The millennium city, Gurugram, is also reeling under the tremendous pressure caused by the lack of water in the city. The city’s water table is depleting so quickly that it has already reached an alarmingly low level.

In the last one decade or so, the city’s water table has seen a stupendous decline of 82 per cent. If the pre-monsoon data collected by Gurugram’s groundwater cells in May is taken into account, the water table fell to 36.21 metres which is almost double to the mark of 19.85 metres in 2006. The decline of 17 metres alone explains a lot about the problem that the city and its planners have been doing so far.Click Here: Golf special
