Balancing watershed and local scale impacts of rain water harvesting in India—A review
TLDR
In this paper, the authors focus on the hydrological impacts of RWH for recharge at the local (individual structure) and watershed scale in rural areas, and propose some evaluation criteria to assess the local and watershed-scale impacts of watershed development.About:

Artificial recharge endeavours in India: A review
TL;DR: In this article , the authors reviewed the researches that have been done in India on these issues and related government policies and schemes under execution, and highlighted the critical issues like source water availability for recharge, upstream-downstream conflicts, and the rising awareness of different demand-side interventions for sustainable management of groundwater resources have also been discussed.

Long term monitoring of rainwater harvesting tanks: Is multi‐years management possible in crystalline South Indian aquifers?
A. Boisson,D. Villesseche,Adrien Selles,M. Alazard,S.K. Chandra,Sylvain Ferrant,Jean-Christophe Maréchal +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a long-term monitoring of a RWH tank located in Telangana in Southern India is achieved by a combination of field monitoring over 2' years and a daily water balance compared to LANDSAT measurements of the tank area.

Satellite-based estimates of groundwater depletion in India
Matthew Rodell,Isabella Velicogna,Isabella Velicogna,Isabella Velicogna,James S. Famiglietti +4 more
TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that unsustainable consumption of groundwater for irrigation and other anthropogenic uses is likely to be the cause of groundwater depletion in northwest India and the consequences for the 114,000,000 residents of the region may include a reduction of agricultural output and shortages of potable water, leading to extensive socioeconomic stresses.
