214 of Rajasthan's 302 groundwater assessment blocks are now classified as “over-exploited,” with several districts crossing 100% extraction. Farmers continue sinking deeper borewells with no real-time visibility into how fast their local aquifer is depleting, leading to crop failure, distress, and unplanned migration in the worst-hit blocks.
Key Features Sought
- Block-level groundwater health dashboard using open CGWB / satellite data, accessible via basic smartphone
- Alerts in Hindi/regional language when extraction nears unsafe levels
- Crop and irrigation recommendations matched to local water availability
- Simple cost estimator for community-level recharge structures (check dams, percolation pits)
