Best answer

1. For resource like water, the consumption by one person or a sector affects what is available to others. 

2. In a number of states, the answer to falling water tables has been not to address the issue itself. 

3. Apart from this each person wants their share of water before someone else. 

4. This is the real contemporary challenge. 

5. So groundwater should be considered a common pool resource. 

6. Based on this the laws and rules to water usage should be framed. 

7. It should be made that drinking water is the first priority as well as a human right. 

8. Panchayat Raj institutions must have control over the use of groundwater.

(OR)

1. Over the past few decades ground water has been the main source, especially for domestic use and agriculture. 

2. This tremendous increase in the use of ground water has a significant impact on water availability and on access to water. 

3. Water is a flowing resource. Extraction from one tube well often dries up other tube wells around. 

4. If each one competes to go deeper than the neighbour, the ground water structure would be disturbed. 

5. Hence ground water should be considered as common pool resource and we should delink the connection between the ownership of land and water drawn from the underground.
