ABSTRACT Escalating water scarcity threatens to sustainable food production, necessitating enhanced use efficiency through effective management practices. The present study aims conduct accounting in the groundwater-depleted districts of Haryana and Punjab, India, analysing potential irrigation savings achievable implementation efficient techniques these selected districts. area encompasses Kaithal Karnal Patiala Sangrur Punjab with availability assessment for 2015. Results showed that there is a mismatch between annual groundwater pumped replenishable recharge all indicating need improved management. Adjusting timing rice sowing align onset rainy season can significantly save reduce extraction. For instance, delaying transplanting from May 21st June 15th crop demand by 10.89%. Similarly, on 9.03%, 6.23%, 4.31%, 2.46% compared 26th, 31st, 5th, 10th, respectively. Shifting rice-wheat cropping system maize-wheat substantially decrease demand. Replacing maize result 54.66% reduction per hectare.
