Bumper crop for farmers as groundwater level improves: UP govt

With the plantation of around 2093581 saplings, the water condition in these blocks started improving.

Lucknow: Known for the insufficient supply of drinking water and unavailability of water for farming, the reorganised Chinhat and Sarojini Nagar blocks of the state capital have undergone a massive change over the last four and a half years, the UP government said.

The groundwater level has improved due to the effort of the irrigation department, it said.

Chinhat and Sarojinigar Blocks of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh had been suffering from the major problem of depletion in groundwater level. Neither the area had enough water for drinking nor for farming purposes. The Water level in the block was also in the over-exploited category.
