Groundwater is the most important water resource that aids during climate change extremes (floods and droughts). Groundwater has also been the key factor for increase in cropped area, rotation and profit for farmers. However, the groundwater science is not well understood and hence it is depleted at alarming rates. India is the highest extractor of groundwater in the world and it is necessary to understand groundwater hydrology to better work in water resources management activities.
