This isn't news. My parents have a farm in northern Rajasthan. They use only groundwater for irrigation. Every few years since the early 80s, they've had to dig deeper and deeper wells because the wells keep running dry.
On the other hand, in Western Rajasthan, due to the canal coming down from Punjab, the groundwater is only a few feet deep in places; the land has become waterlogged.
