    The problem is falling groundwater levels due to over-extraction and lack of rainwater harvesting. (I) directly addresses the root cause by enforcing rainwater harvesting systems. (II) helps reduce unnecessary water usage and supports conservation. (III) is extreme, impractical, and not supported by the statement since industrial water usage cannot be stopped entirely. Thus, Only I and II → Option C.
