भूजल योजना: एक सतत भविष्य के वलए भूजल संरक्षण

Groundwater is a significant source of freshwater and is crucial for domestic, agricultural, and
industrial purposes. However, unchecked extraction, overexploitation, and contamination pose
serious threats to its sustainability. The Central Government recognized the importance of
sustainable groundwater management and launched Atal Bhujal Yojana (Atal Jal) on April 1,
2020 for a period of 5 years with a total outlay of Rs. 6000 Crore (Rs. 3000 Crore from
Government of India and Rs. 3000 Crore from the World Bank)
