The Daily Independent - News
Indiscriminate sinking of borewells has depleted the water table all over India too. As the article hint, the well owners must be encouraged to keep the wells recharged. Here's a few ideas:
- Have well ? Get disconnected from the grid, and get massive breaks on property taxes etc
- Have well AND are on the grid ? Pay higher unit rates for water, or have it rationed
Of course, nothing works better than an aware audience, but a few sticks and carrots go a long way in encouraging that awarenes.
