Overview

• 566 of Uttar Pradesh's 826 development blocks are now classified as 'safe,' reflecting a major groundwater level recovery.
• The number of overexploited blocks has dropped from 82 in 2017 to just 50 as of May 2025, with many semi-critical areas also improving.
• Advanced monitoring technologies, including 500 piezometers and 690 Digital Water Level Recorders, ensure real-time tracking of groundwater levels.
• Collaborative efforts with Namami Gange and the Rural Water Supply Department have led to a comprehensive sustainable groundwater management plan.
• Ongoing enhancements to the Groundwater Information System aim to sustain these gains and further improve water security in rural and urban areas.
