The dipping groundwater level in the city continues to be a cause of worry. The Economic Survey of Delhi, released by Delhi Finance Minister AK Walia on Tuesday presented the sorry state of groundwater level in the Capital. The survey provides analytical data for a large number of sectors like public finance, prices, environment, industries, energy, transport, urban development, sanitation, education, health, social welfare, rural development, trade and commerce. The survey indicates the present fiscal status of Delhi, which is almost at par with full-fledged States. It is fourth in the series of survey started by Delhi Government since 1999-2000.
