- Abstract
The article focuses on the emerging groundwater crisis in Chhattisgarh state, India, exacerbated by extensive agricultural practices heavily reliant on groundwater irrigation, particularly for crops like paddy. Topics include the rapid increase in bore wells for irrigation, resulting in significant groundwater depletion across various regions of the state, and the associated environmental impacts such as reduced freshwater availability and deterioration in groundwater quality.
