What is Groundwater Irrigation Inequity in India about?

The paper investigates groundwater depletion and inequity in access to irrigation resources across Indian states, using secondary data and measures like the Gini-Coefficient and Theil Index. It finds significant depletion of groundwater, with 44% of villages in critical zones, and increasing inequity favoring larger farmers. The study emphasizes the need for better regulation and equitable distribution of water resources to address these disparities.
