Know how Jal Shakti Campaign would help in the prevention of groundwater extraction?
As groundwater recharge is a very time-consuming process, the campaign would help the needy to conserve and preserve the water and make use of it when in need without extracting the groundwater.
People are increasingly depending upon the consumption of groundwater as surface water bodies produce contaminated water due to the release of bad water waste discharge which makes the water unfit for use.
