  1. Notes: Each observation is a district×year. Robust standard errors clustered at the district level reported in parentheses and associated p-values reported in square brackets. Two-sided t-test used. ∆GWL is the proportional change in groundwater depth between November in year t−1 and May in year t. Dry wells are the fraction of monitoring wells that are dry in the months after wheat harvest (June–September). All regression models include district fixed effects, district specific linear time trends, and controls for temperature and precipitation. ∗p < 0.10, ∗∗p < 0.05, ∗∗∗p < 0.01.
