Monsoon may not give respite from India's drought crisis, Here's the reason
The much anticipated monsoon may not solve India's drought crisis. Water Aid India's Head of Policy, Nitya Jacob, says groundwater levels are so depleted that even if a good monsoon comes in June, it won't be enough. Central Water Commission data shows that India's major reservoirs are 79% empty, and 75% of India's basins are holding less water than the 10-year average.
