"groundwater"

Telangana’s groundwater levels improved in March 2026 following excess rainfall, but experts warn the gains may be temporary as El Niño conditions could weaken the monsoon, potentially reversing recharge trends and increasing water stress in vulnerable districts.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu reaffirmed that the state will not lose its rightful share of Krishna river water. He instructed officials to strongly defend AP’s interests before the tribunal and reviewed reservoir availability and groundwater improvements across the State

Telangana has received 31 per cent excess rainfall due to an extended southwest monsoon, leading to flash floods and crop damage across several districts. While kharif crops like paddy and cotton suffered, the rains have replenished groundwater and reservoirs, promising a well-supported rabi season.

Recent data reveals a rapid decline in groundwater levels across the city, with water now being found only at depths of nearly 22 metres in Marredpally and around 19 metres in localities like Tirumalagiri and Ameerpet.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.” That moment has already arrived

Paddy, maize and wheat growers sinking multiple borewells due to insufficient water supply from local irrigation projects

Residents, especially farmers, are forced to rely on bore wells to meet their water needs, as the Mission Bhagiratha project has not been able to provide a consistent supply of safe drinking water in certain pockets

The "explosion-like" sounds, accompanied by tremors, that were heard in the Anakkallu area of Malappuram district a day ago, were apparently caused due to friction and cracking of rocks close to the surface of the earth, the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) said on Thursday.

This is about 37 times the quantity of water the Indira Sagar dam — India's largest reservoir — can hold at full capacity

Despite 5% excess rain, groundwater declines in 32 districts

That's because in about 20 per cent of the aquifers studied, the authors found that the rate at which groundwater levels are falling in the 21st century had slowed down compared to the the 1980s and '90s.

Use of technologies to monitor water availability in borewells could be the first step to manage aquifers responsibly

The study suggests that climate change may increase the areas of India where groundwater depletion occurs

If the trend continues, the rate of groundwater loss could triple by 2080, further threatening India's food and water security, a new study led by an Indian-origin researcher has warned.

With groundwater levels up, solids in water get diluted

The device would help in get an accurate reading of the groundwater level, says District Groundwater Officer.

The findings of an ICRISAT-led study point to a need for the improved governance of water resource sustainability which remains a critical challenge

Hyderabad: The average groundwater levels in the State during July 2022 was 5.14 meters below ground level (mbgl) and it varies from 1.41 mbgl in Jagityal to 11.22 mbgl in Medak, according to Telangana Groundwater Department (TGD).
