According to the report, some areas of the Indo-Gangetic plain in India have already crossed the dangerous point of groundwater depletion.
The entire north-western India is projected to face serious threat of low groundwater availability by 2025.
According to the report the world is approaching 6 ecological tipping points – rapid extinction, groundwater depletion, melting of mountain glaciers, space debris, unbearable heat and an uncertain future.
