Groundwater has emerged as a major resource in safeguarding agriculture and drinking water security in many parts of the globe. India is at present the largest and fastest consumer of groundwater in the world. Integral to life and indispensable for comprehensive growth and development, groundwater is a key resource for India in achieving its holistic vision of a developed nation by 2047, the 100th year of its independence. The role of groundwater in contributing to water security and searching solutions for its conservation and sustainable management at present will play a crucial role to meet water demands of the population in future under a changing climate and to ensure food and water security for both the developed and developing countries.
