Answer
(a) Groundwater is overused mainly for Agriculture and domestic purposes. Due to growing urbanisation more and more population is attracted to towns. This is creating huge demand of water which in turn causes over-exploitation of ground water
(b) Overuse may seem beneficial in the short term but it is harmful for us in the long run. Development without overuse is possible if the process is sustainable and judicious. There can be alternate ways to save resources and develop simultaneously.
