How much is the overuse of water in India in the recent years - since 2000 up til date?

Question

the over use of water in india is massive.

Answer 1

A tussle is simmering in South Asia's Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin, where Bangladesh, India, and Nepal dispute the best uses of water. India and Nepal want to exploit the basin's huge hydroelectric power-generating potential, whereas Bangladesh wants the water managed in such a way as to minimize flooding during monsoon months and water shortages during dry months. Of equal concern are the water conflicts between states in India that share river basins, such as Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, which border the Cauvery River. In the other parts of India, people have been killed in riots over water. There are water shortages during the dry season in every major city in South Asia. During the dry season, city pipes are often empty, creating situations where water must be delivered by truck to mobs of desperate people.
