Background

Arghyam has engaged in various discussions on urban water related issues and has found that the contribution of groundwater to sustain urban growth is rarely acknowledged.Groundwater resources are complex in nature, and its systems have never been fully understood, which further leads to problems of quantity and quality.

Rapid urbanization poses serious questions about the future of urban groundwater bodies like lakes, traditional water systems, wells, etc. which have played a significant role in the expansion of urban centers (small, medium and large towns/cities) and its economy.
