Delhi, amidst grappling with a severe water shortage, received sobering news from the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB). Their latest report reveals a decline in both the annual recharge and available groundwater for extraction in the city. According to the CGWB's findings, Delhi's net annual groundwater recharge in 2023 was measured at 0.38 billion cubic meters (bcm), with only 0.34 bcm available for extraction.

Shockingly, nearly all accessible groundwater has already been extracted, totaling 99.1%. In comparison, 2022 saw a recharge of 0.41 bcm, with 0.37 bcm available and 0.36 bcm utilized.

The report underscores a worrisome trend: despite reduced groundwater recharge, Delhi witnessed an increase in extraction, rising from 98.16% in 2022 to 99.13% in 2023. This disparity suggests ongoing challenges in sustaining groundwater levels across the city.
