Researchers at the Indian Institute of Geosciences have found seasonal variations in the groundwater of the Himalayas. A change has been observed in the foundation status of the institute. Researchers used the Global Positioning System and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment data together, making it possible for researchers to determine the variation of hydrological mass. New studies show that apart from common causes, seasonal changes in groundwater also lead to such a decrease or a change in the situation. Let's know more about the Groundwater Of the Himalayan Region.
