Digging A Pit Every 2 Days, How This Parched Rajasthan Village Gets Water

Rajasthan: Sixty kilometres ahead of Sanchore city in south Rajasthan, hundreds of residents have begun digging for water

With summer approaching, villagers in some of the driest areas of Rajasthan have started digging for groundwater.

Only 10 per cent of this desert state can be categorised into water resources. The rest 90 per cent depends on groundwater for drinking as well as irrigation.

Adding to the problem is the alarming rate of fall in the groundwater table.
