Punjab Faces Groundwater Crisis: Highest Extraction in India

Punjab Faces Groundwater Crisis: Highest Extraction in India

Imagine Punjab is like a thirsty plant.

Farmers there are taking way too much water from underground, more than anywhere else in the country.

This is making the water levels go down and making the water dirty.

The water is polluted with things like poison and other contaminants.

Also, Punjab doesn't have many trees compared to other places.

This is all according to a new report that studies how the environment is doing, before a big environmental day.
