However, the four rural taluks fared better. Only one out of the four taluks (Anekal) recorded a drop of this magnitude in the water table. While the groundwater level in Hoskote has come up by 4 metre below ground level, in Doddaballapur and Devanahalli, the water table has improved by nearly 2 metre.
