        abstract = {Groundwater is a major source of water, but over a few years, the water level is highly likely to go down due to overexploitation and a lack of artificial recharge. Through regulation and governance, the groundwater community's participation is now required as a viable mitigation strategy for balancing the supply and demand of the groundwater reservoir. The State of Rajasthan is the largest state in the country, covering an area of 3.42 lakh square kilometres, which is more than 10% of the total geographical area of the country. Based on secondary data and primary data sets gathered during field research, it is noted that the water level below the ground surface drops very far, about more than 50 metres at MIA industrial area. According to the data gathered, water levels dropped between 55 and 122 metres. There is a rise or fall variation of 0.5 to 2 m. It has been noted that supply is lower than demand. According to the Jal Shakti Notification of September 24, 2020 (CGWA guidelines), the State Water Policy of the Government of Rajasthan of 2010, and the State Groundwater Department's directions of December 7, 2020, the groundwater community will be assessed for the necessity of constructing various types of water conservation structures. Thus, there is a clear need to develop robust mechanisms of groundwater governance, as well as participatory forms of groundwater management and development within watersheds in collaboration with local government agencies, gram panchayats, NGO if available, farmers, and SHG groups of women’s.},
