Check Decline Of Water Table, Gurgaon Residents Urge MCGBy ugesh sarkar, Section Water
Drawing the attention of the local municipal corporation towards the alarming depletion of water table in Gurgaon, a joint front of residents' organisations has urged the local municipal authorities to take some effective measures in this regard.
"The water table has gone down up to 200 feet, which is a big issue. If the present trend of falling watertable is not arrested, Gurgaon will soon become a desert belt," states the joint front's letter addressed to the local municipal commissioner. The letter, signed by Dharma Sagar and R.S.Rathee on behalf of the Federation of Residents Welfare Associations (FORWA) and Gurgaon Citizens Council (GCC), respectively, asserts that the need of the day was to reverse the decline in level of underground water. "One way to prevent the water table from falling further is to stop - or, at least, minimise - extracting water from earth through tubewells...the next step would be to restore water table to a reasonable level of 50 feet by optimal harvesting of rainwater and ensuring zero-level discharge from the city into the drainage system," the letter notes.

The RWAs maintains that water-harvesting is the need of the day and comprises simple steps like digging of ponds and pits to recharge groundwater and installation of rainwater-harvesting mechanism, but still, it is not being done.
The residents' bodies have also prepared a detailed plan regarding the adoption and implementation of water-harvesting system and attached it with the letter to the municipal commissioner.
They point out that if the municipal authorities get water-harvesting mechanism implemented effectively and efficiently, the run-off rainwater, which damages inundates agricultural fields, destroys crops and damages roads and other things, can be channelised to recharge groundwater, the level of which is going down alarmingly.
