India's Water Crisis: Why Drought-Resistant Seeds Aren't Enough—It's About Water Management!

India's Water Crisis: Why Drought-Resistant Seeds Aren't Enough—It's About Water Management! @SakshiTV

India's farmers are in peril as groundwater plummets and wells run dry, turning fertile fields into barren wastelands. A 2025 study warns that drought-resistant seeds alone can't save agriculture—without efficient water use, yields drop even for resilient crops. Over 62% of irrigation relies on depleting groundwater, with states like Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra facing critical shortages—78% of Punjab's wells are over-exploited, and levels fall 1m/year. Drip irrigation in Gujarat's Jyotigram Yojana has slashed extraction by 20% and boosted yields in arid areas like Saurashtra. Solutions: Scale micro-irrigation (PMKSY subsidies), revive canals/check dams, promote rainwater harvesting, and enforce equitable allocation. Without action, food security crumbles—water, not just genes, holds the key to India's future. Watch for urgent steps to quench this thirst! What's your take on water conservation? Comment below.
