Extreme groundwater happens, fast groundwater level, dry water resources

Water sources dry up due to regular exploitation and low rainfall. Looking at the figures of the past four years, the groundwater level in Hathras blocks lowered by four meters. In addition, the situation in Mursan, Sadabad and Sasni Blocks is also worrying. According to the data of the Department of Pollution, approximately 250 companies and institutes in the district use many groundwater. As a result, the groundwater level drops. The department is now preparing to take action against them soon. The government is doing everything in operation to stop the falling groundwater level, but there is no improvement on the ground level. Hasayan Block is the only place where some improvement was done, but there was also a decrease. It is suggested to build a check pond to increase the groundwater level. Rainwater crop system is also installed. – Deepak Kumar, under engineer, short irrigation. Block-wise situation is very exploited- Sadabad, Mursan and Sasani. Campus-Hathras and Hasyan. For semi-pairing alien. Discussion- Hathras City and Sikandararau. In Five Years, The Ground Water Level Block was reduced this 2020 reduced to 2024 Hasayan – 5.68 8.62 2.94 Hathras – 10.81 14.88 4.07 Sadabad – 25.93 28.16 2.23 Sahpau – 20.61 18.36 2.25 8.89 1.32 Hathras City – 14.23 14.22 1.0 37 Rainwater Harvesting systems were made, most of which are closed. In the year 2023, the irrigation department began installing a harvesting system for rainwater to save the falling groundwater level in the district. There was a plan to install this system in 162 buildings. It was founded in 22 grams of Panchayat buildings and 15 council schools. Its purpose was to collect about 31.59 lakh gallons of rainwater each year, but these systems are now closed in many buildings. In this way, the water level will increase. – Save rainwater, make trenches, dams and puddles. – Make and maintain wells, dams and lakes. – Reduce the use of groundwater. – Use drip and sprinkler method for irrigation. – By planting trees, take the groundwater level, so plant trees. -The rules for installing support pump must be followed. – Rules must be implemented regarding the use of water at the washing centers for vehicles. – Strict steps must be taken against units that have used groundwater highly. Last year, the highest rainfall in the district, most rainfall was in the year 2024. 138.3 mm in 2020, 452.5 mm in 2021, 321.9 mm in 2022, 254.8 mm in 2023. 2024 received 960.82 mm rainfall, which was 293 mm above the normal average. However, the figures of its impact on groundwater have not yet been released. Share this story -tags
