When much is being written about ill effects of intensive groundwater use and how all the benefits accrue to the rich farmers and dis-benefits to the poor, because the rich own a major share of wells and tubewells and poor are always forced to buy water from them at exorbitant prices, I What we see does not surprise me, because I always knew that our small and marginal farmers own a dis-proportionate share of our groundwater structures relative to their land holding and also make more intensive use of groundwater than their richer counterparts. But these findings may come as surprise to a lot of doomsday predictors and naysayers. Ground water equity is on stack when reich farmer are filling their ponds with ground water. Government should come with strong laws against this. What country you belongs to Asem? are there any laws for ground water lifting?
