Bi-decadal groundwater level trends in a semi-arid south indian region: Declines, causes and management

India, world’s largest groundwater user (250 billion m3 yr−1) has been reported to experience declining groundwater levels. However, the statistical significance of the decline has not been analyzed to separate human effects from natural variability. Contrary to common perception of widespread groun...

Agricultural power subsidy Groundwater India, world’s largest groundwater user (250 billion m3 yr−1) has been reported to experience declining groundwater levels.

Contrary to common perception of widespread groundwater declines only 22–36% of the wells showed statistically significant declines.
