Ground Water Management |
Top |
|
|
| |
The Board has taken up urban ground
water management studies in some major cities of the Maharashtra State.
Under these studies, the status of ground water development and also
the status of water supply to the urban area are being studied and
data is being collected from various sources to see the impact of
rapid urbanization and industrialization and the exploding population
on the existing source of water supply and ground water flow regime.
Till March 2003, these studies have been taken up in the following
urban areas: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
i)

|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Remote Sensing studies were carried
out for various activities of the region using Aerial Photographs,
Imageries (both Landsat and IRS) and GIS techniques. The major works
taken up under these studies are: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
i) Trap
- Alluvium boundary of Tapi
and Purna alluvial basin was demarcated in Amravati, Akola, Buldhana,
Jalgaon & Dhule district based on Aerial photo studies. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
ii) Hydrogeomorphic and lineament
maps were prepared based on aerial photo and imagery studies for incorporating
in district, systematic/ reappraisal hydrogeological survey reports. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
iii) Lineament sites were selected
for ground water exploration, which proved to be high yielding wells.
Similarly, lineament maps were prepared for drought relief work for
Bhandara, Wardha and Raigarh districts. |
|
|
|
|
| |
iv) Studies were carried out in Ramtek
taluka, Nagpur district and in Barshi area in Sholapur district. |

| Assistance To Government Of Maharashtra |
|
|
|
| |
The CGWB, Nagpur is providing technical
assistance to the Maharashtra Government for ground water development
and management from time to time which are mentioned as under. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Under drought relief assistance in
1987 and in subsequent years, the Board has surveyed 919 drought affected
villages in Pune, Ahmadnagar, Bhandara, Gadchiroli and Yavatmal districts
of Maharashtra and suitable sites were recommended for rural water
supply. The Board had also assisted in construction of 21 Deposit
wells in all, with 12 in Chandrapur and 9 in Dhule districts. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Under the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking
Water Mission, the Board had surveyed 234 villages in Satara, Latur
and Nagpur districts for Source Finding to cater to the needs of drinking
water requirements of problematic villages. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Source Finding & Exploration in Scarcity
Villages in Raigad District |
|
|
|
| |
The Hon'ble Minister for Water Resources,
Shri. A.R. Antulay has advised the Director, C.R. in 1995 to take
up immediate appropriate steps to mitigate tha acute shortage of drinking
water problems in scarcity affected villages in Raigad district where
the water supply is met through tankers. Based on this reust, the
Central Region has carried out Source Finding in 21 villages covering
Pen, Khalapur and Uran talukas and made suitable recommendations for
rural water supply. The Region has also construced exploratory wells
at Dolavali Anjurun in Khalapur taluka and Gagode Khurd in Pen taluka
and handed over to the State Govt. for rural water supply. |

| Design Of Irrigation Tube Wells Propsed
To Be Constructed By The State Govt. Under Ganga Kalyan Yojana |
|
|
|
| |
Under Ganga Kalyan Yojana, the Ground
Water Survey & Development Agency (GSDA), Govt. of Maharashtra
had submitted a proposal for the feasibility of construction of additional
irrigation tube wells in alluvial/Gondwana formations in 8 districts
of Maharashtra. The observation of CGWB and the preparation of model
design for tube wells were made available to the GSDA. The CGWB had
indicated unfavourable areas and also expressed its reservations in
the construction of TW in Dhule and Jalgaon districts where excessive
ground water development was noticed. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Feasibility of Tube Well Irrigation Scheme |
|
|
|
| |
The State Govt. had submitted a scheme
for tube well irrigation in alluvial tract of Purna and Tapi and also
for Gondwana formations. The scheme was refereed to CGWB for technical
feasibility. The Scheme was scrutinized and comments were forwarded
to reduce the number of tube wells and also not to construct tube
wells in Dark and Grey areas. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Earthquake & Other Assistance |
|
|
|
| |
The Board has taken up intensive
ground water studies aided by drilling in Earth Quake affected areas
of Latur and Osmanabad districts of Maharashtra during 1993 and also
served the Kutch area of Gujarat after the earth quake of 2001 for
rehabilitation of affected villages and provided drinking water needs
through construction of bore wells. |
|
| |
The Board also provides its services
to various Central/State Government organisations and Defence establishments
to over come the water shortage problems through Short-Term Water
Supply Investigations. Assistance is also provided in ground water
management activities involving Conjunctive Use of surface and ground
water in surface water irrigation projects. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Asistances to Other Agencies |
|
|
|
| |
The Ministry of Environment and Forests
has made a special request to assess the effect of proposed Ash Ponds
to be constructed by M/s. Nippon Dendro Ispat Ltd for 1000 MW Thermal
Power Project near Bhadrawati, Chandrapur district in order to dispose
the ash generated from this power plant. In order to study the suitability
of the proposed Ash Pond area from ground water and environmental
angle for ash disposal, a joint team with representatives of CGWB,
Nagpur visited the site. It was opined that the proposed ash ponds
are to be lined to prevent possible contamination of surface and ground
water bodies. It was also felt desirable to establish observation
wells to periodically monitor the water level and chemical quality
of ground water from hallow and deeper aquifers. A joint report incorporating
the above was prepared and submitted. |
