It is really a very positive information. The stage of groundwater development in AP is 46 % and for Gujarat is 75 % . It is quite a good achievement for Gujarat state which is becoming semicritical. Being a hardrock area groundwater recharge is quite low. How storage being replenished? One reason could be over the years rainfall has increased because of that natural recharge has increased and draft has been reduced. Any other significant factors please share.
