Description

Employing underground water supplies involves the systematic identification, extraction, and management of groundwater resources to address water scarcity, support agriculture, and ensure reliable drinking water. This strategy focuses on drilling wells, constructing boreholes, and implementing sustainable withdrawal practices to remedy surface water shortages, drought impacts, and unreliable rainfall. Effective monitoring and regulation are essential to prevent over-extraction, contamination, and long-term depletion, ensuring groundwater remains a viable resource for communities and ecosystems.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
