World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About State of Global Water Resources (SGWR):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is annually published by the <strong>World Meteorological Organization (WMO). <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It provides a comprehensive quantitative overview of global water resources, with a focus on hydrological variability and trends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SGWR 2025 Highlights:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Satellite observations and hydrological models showed that<strong> 42% of global land area<\/strong> had <strong>below-normal water storage in 2025.<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>The measure covers water in rivers, streams and lakes, groundwater, soil moisture, snow and ice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Global terrestrial water storage <\/strong>has shown a declining trend since 2014\u20132016 \u2014 a persistent, decade-long signal.<\/li>\n<li>For the <strong>fourth consecutive year<\/strong>, every <strong>major glaciated region <\/strong>on Earth<strong> lost ice mass. <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>estimated loss during the 2025<\/strong> hydrological year was about 408 gigatonnes, equivalent to roughly <strong>1 millimetres of global sea-level rise<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Central Asia, western Canada <\/strong>and the <strong>United States<\/strong> were among the regions recording particularly <strong>severe glacier losses. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>2025 <\/strong>was <strong>one of the driest years for the world\u2019s rivers in 35 years<\/strong>, with <strong>normal

The remaining 7% was classified as having no data.<\/li>\n<li>The WMO found that the seven years<strong> from 2019 to 2025 <\/strong>had the<strong> smallest shares of river basins with normal flows since 1991.<\/strong> Those shares ranged from 34% to 38%, compared with an average of 46% over 1991\u20132020.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Persistent groundwater deficits<\/strong> were <strong>observed during 2022\u20132025 <\/strong>in parts of the <strong>Americas, Europe, the Middle East, India, southern Africa and Australia<\/strong>, with over-abstraction identified as an important driver in several regions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearly two-thirds of monitored wells<\/strong> worldwide showed conditions outside the historical norm in 2025, and the balance shifted further toward<strong> deficit compared with 2024,<\/strong> not toward recovery.<\/li>\n<li>Globally, <strong>34 percent of groundwater observation stations<\/strong> reported <strong>below-normal to much-below-normal levels<\/strong> in 2025, compared with 25 per cent in 2024.<\/li>\n<li>Around 31 percent of observation stations reported above-normal to much-above-normal groundwater levels in 2025.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asia and Africa <\/strong>together accounted for at least <strong>half of all recorded water-related extreme events<\/strong> and <strong>more than 80% of reported associated deaths<\/strong> over the <strong>past five years <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>India-Specific Findings:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>India recorded <strong>below-normal terrestrial water storage in 2025<\/strong>, <strong>particularly <\/strong>across the <strong>northern part<\/strong> of the country.<\/li>\n<li>The report also found <strong>above- to much-above-normal reservoir inflows across India,<\/strong> while <strong>soil moisture <\/strong>was <strong>above or much above normal <\/strong>during both the December-February and June-August assessment periods.<\/li>\n<li>Among India&#8217;s major river systems, the <strong>Ganges, Godavari, Krishna and Indus <\/strong>recorded<strong> above-normal to much-above-normal discharge<\/strong> in 2025.<\/li>\n<li>However, the higher river flows did not translate into a broad recovery of India&#8217;s deeper water reserves.<\/li>\n<li>The WMO found <strong>persistent groundwater deficits in India during 2022-2025<\/strong>, with widespread below-normal to much-below-normal groundwater levels, particularly in northwestern India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Hence option b is the correct answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>News: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.downtoearth.org.in\/water\/indias-groundwater-in-persistent-decline-warns-un-report\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.downtoearth.org.in\/water\/indias-groundwater-in-persistent-decline-warns-un-report<\/a><\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        \n                        \n                                                <input type=\"button\" name=\"back\" value=\"Back\"\n                               class=\"wpProQuiz_button wpProQuiz_QuestionButton\"\n                               style=\"float: left !important; margin-right: 10px !important; display: none;\">\n                                                <input type=\"button\" name=\"check\" value=\"Check\"\n                               class=\"wpProQuiz_button wpProQuiz_QuestionButton\"\n                               style=\"float: right !important; margin-right: 10px !important; display: none;\">\n                        <input type=\"button\" name=\"next\" value=\"Next\"\n                               class=\"wpProQuiz_button wpProQuiz_QuestionButton\" style=\"float: right; display: none;\">\n\n                        <div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n\n                                                    <div style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n                        \n                    <\/li>\n\n                                    <li class=\"wpProQuiz_listItem\" style=\"display: none;\">\n                        <div\n                            class=\"wpProQuiz_question_page\" style=\"display:none;\" >\n                            Question <span>6<\/span> of <span>10<\/span>                        <\/div>\n                        <h5 style=\"display: inline-block;\"\n                            class=\"wpProQuiz_header\">\n                            <span>6<\/span>.
