Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
According to recent research, numerous sections of the country's groundwater are gravely threatened. Over the last 20 years, more than 300 locations have reported a drop in water level of more than 4 meters. In addition, about one-third of the country is overusing its groundwater resources. In another 25 years, 60% of the nation would experience the same water deficit if the current rate of resource consumption is maintained. Groundwater misuse is most prevalent in the agriculturally prosperous districts of Punjab and Western U.P., the hard rock plateau regions of central and southern India, certain coastal areas, and the rapidly growing urban areas.
