Punjab's Water Crisis: Farmers Face Groundwater Plunge

In Punjab, groundwater levels have drastically fallen, impacting farmers like Bhajan Singh. Over two decades, water levels dropped by 110 ft, forcing farmers to dig deeper tubewells. This trend reflects a broader crisis across Punjab, with 78% of areas over-exploiting groundwater. Farmers demand canal water access, while experts suggest crop diversification away from water-intensive paddy.
