How can we avoid ground water exploitation

Rain Water Harvesting is the major remedy on reducing ground water exploitation. With rapid urbanization most of the rain water goes down the storm water drain, which flows out of town/city and land below urbanization remains dry. The rain water should prcolate unformly all through the land below urban habitaion.

Yes Mr.Manoj Kumar I will also accept the rain water harvesting in order to avoid ground water exploitation.

Excellent way sir, but the present urban scenario India bears ma not be suitable for it. New development %age in urban India is only 8% (approx.) while the wastage of ground water is most in this zone.

However, any new settlement should be complied by rain water harvesting and that really should be mandatory.

Thanks for the referral Mr.Manoj Kumar. Today the agricultural lands are converted into residential and multistory buildings.Therefore there is no irrigation where the water will go into the ground. Secondly our valuable forests are being destroyed for the reasons best known to the concerned people. As a result there is no rain. When the forest is destroyed, they should simultaneously plant trees that practice is not followed. Now we are crying for water. When there is no proper rain, we will not get water from the earth.

Of late we have inadequate rain during the monsoon, and this water at least can be harvested into the ground. Besides, everybody must make a practice of growing plants & trees in the available places.   

Today the rate of reduction of tree from forest is increadesed, first requiremet is to reduce that percentage, and after that plantation of tree anny where should be increase.
