Groundwater Sustainability In Agriculture: A Blueprint For A Thriving Future
Our society's primary economic sector, agriculture, is heavily reliant on water supplies. When comparing the various sources, groundwater stands out as being very important, especially in areas where surface water might not be consistently or easily accessible. However, ecology and agriculture are both seriously threatened by unsustainable groundwater use. It is urgent that we pay immediate attention to the pressing issue of sustainable groundwater management for agriculture. In this blog, we will talk about all the concerns, methods, and benefits of sustainable groundwater management in the agricultural sector. What Is The Real Issue Behind Unsustainable Groundwater Use? The term "groundwater overdraft" refers to the phenomenon that occurs when groundwater extraction exceeds the rate of natural recharge. The effects of over-extraction are extensive and include land subsidence, seawater intrusion in coastal areas, and the depletion of essential groundwater-dependent e...
