Abstract

Groundwater security is a crucial component of the sustainable development in South Asia due to various population-linked issues. The region hosts almost one-fourth of the global population within less than 5% of the global land area. Prevailing groundwater depletion issues would lead to public health as well as food security concerns if goes uncontrolled for long time. In this context, more focus should be given to estimate the usable groundwater fraction quantitatively.
