Rajasthan is one of India’s top users of groundwater for irrigation, mainly because of water-intensive crops like wheat, even though there have been efforts to switch to drought-resistant ones. Higher temperatures and unpredictable rainfall also deplete groundwater faster than it can naturally refill. Overexploitation of groundwater over decades has pushed the levels to an irreversible state, forcing many farmers to leave agriculture as wells run dry.

While the mine’s revival is seen as an employment opportunity, villagers fear a repeat of past environmental damage, including groundwater depletion and blasting-related destruction. The environmental clearance was given to the mining project, and there will be talks about river diversion next. An expert says it would impact the groundwater in nearby areas.
