Good point. Bhuban-da,
Now Raj. state govt is made it compulsory that for big buildings they have to have some rain-water harvesting mechanism. They should make it compulsory for villages too (?) and as C-da's friend suggested put checks and balances for use of electric power and groundwater rrmoval (I'm told in US etc they have meters on submersible pumps -to monitor how much water they took out in that month -and that affects the electric power price.

You youself have provided the answer: rainwater harvesting techniques utilized by the people. Secondly, scientists may be wrong as it happened in the case of Assam's earthquake threat. Thirdly, geologists cannot accurately forecast what the earth's bowels contain.For example, they do not know much about the volcanoes.
