The Sundarbans, on the southern fringe of West Bengal, may soon struggle to provide quality drinking water to its human and non-human residents. This is because its ground water level has been plummeting steadily in recent years due to unbridled, and largely illegal, extraction of groundwater, according to a new study.
The decade-long study was carried out by local non-profit Joygopalpur Gram Vikash Kendra with UBU-Danish Association for Sustainable Development and Danish Technical University in several parts of the vast delta.
Researchers found that there has been a sharp decline in the water level of the Basanti block — in the range of 1 to 2 metres per year on average — over the last decade.
