State-wise Groundwater Degradation in India

StateExtent of DegradationMajor Causes
PunjabOver 80% blocks over-exploited 🚨Excessive irrigation for wheat-paddy cycle, lack of rainfall, unregulated tube wells
HaryanaHigh depletion, especially in western partsOveruse in agriculture, canal water scarcity, rapid urbanization
RajasthanAcute scarcity, water table dropping 1-3m per year 📉Desert climate, over-extraction, poor recharge,FLOURIDE
Uttar PradeshDepletion in western UP, stable in eastern partsSugarcane farming, industrial pollution, urbanization
Madhya PradeshDepleting in central & western regionsAgriculture over-extraction, deforestation
GujaratSalinity ingress in coastal areas 🌊Over-extraction, saltwater intrusion, industrial use
MaharashtraSevere depletion in Marathwada & VidarbhaDrought-prone, sugarcane farming, poor recharge
Tamil NaduRapid depletion in Chennai, Coimbatore, etc.Industrial & urban demand, erratic monsoon
KarnatakaHigh depletion in Bengaluru & North KarnatakaOver-extraction, poor rainwater harvesting
Andhra Pradesh & TelanganaOveruse in Rayalaseema & Telangana regions

Borewell dependency, low rainfall, dry spells
West Bengal
Arsenic contamination in groundwater 🧪Industrial & agricultural pollution
Assam & North EastLess depletion, but localized pollution issuesUnregulated mining, industrial waste



Watershed management is the practice of managing land and water resources to protect and improve the environment within a watershed. It involves using soil and water conservation practices to protect soil, water, and vegetation.

Geography ,Landforms and their evolution (chapter 07 NCERT CLASS 11 SUMMARY )

 ============================================================= Summary: Evolution of Landforms 🌍 ======================================== Weathering & Erosion 🌧️ Weathering breaks down earth materials. Geomorphic agents (running water, groundwater, wind, glaciers, waves) cause erosion. Erosion reshapes the earth’s surface. Deposition & Surface Changes 🏞️ Deposition follows erosion. Both erosion and deposition contribute to landform changes. Definition of Landforms & Landscapes 🏔️ Landforms : Small to medium parts of the earth’s surface. Landscapes : Collection of related landforms forming large surface areas. Formation & Evolution of Landforms ⏳ Formed by geomorphic agents and processes. Changes occur due to slow or rapid natural forces. Influenced by climate and landmass movements. Landforms evolve over time (youth, mature, old age). Two Important Aspects of Landform Evolution 🔄 Transformation of one landform into anoth...

 Terms in news  Genetic rescue is the  process of increasing population growth . This is  done by introducing new genetic diversity  through  the migration of individuals into another small population , a process known as gene flow. It is commonly  used in conservation biology to counteract inbreeding depression . This  occurs when closely related individuals mate within a population , resulting in reduced success in reproduction and offspring viability. BIO PROSPECTING   The primary goal of bioprospecting is to harness nature ’ s diversity to develop beneficial products , such as antibiotics, anti-cancer agents, or sustainable agricultural solutions pollinator decline Mountains cover one-quarter of Earth’s terrestrial surface, hosting unique biodiversity.
