GROUND WATER MEDIUM (Hydrogeological Conditions)
Based on yield potential characteristics of aquifers, the State can be divided into three zones. The first one comprises of 26,090 sq.km in parts of Sirsa, Hissar, Bhiwani, Mahendergarh & Jind districts, where tubewells can yield 50 m3/hr. The second one falls in parts of Hissar, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Bhiwani and Gurgaon districts, covering an area of 7100 sq.km tubewells in this zone, can yield between 50-150m3/hr. The third one extends by 9200sq.km in parts of Ambala, Kuruskshetra, Karnal and Sonepat districts, where the yield varies between 150-200 m3/hr. An area of 1660 sq.km in parts of Gurgaon, Bhiwani and Mahendergarh districtsd is underlain by consolidated formations, where the yield prospects of aquifers are limited.
