Aquifer Mapping is a multidisciplinary exercise wherein a combination of geological, geophysical, hydrological, hydrogeological, meteorological and hydro-chemical information is integrated to characterize the spatial and temporal variation of quantity and quality of the aquifer system. The selected blocks of Angul district were included under NAQUIM, because it forms a part of Gondwana sedimentary terrain with cluster of coal based industries. The main issues and challenges are the effect on ground water by waste water from towns and effluents generated from the diverse industries which has already impacted the surface water quality. Apart from that, from the ground water point of view, other problems exist in the area such as limited aquifer thickness of unconfined aquifer, poor yield from deeper aquifers, failure of borewells due to collapsible formation, fluoride in ground water etc. To resolve such issues, NAQUIM study was carried out with the following broad Hydrogeological Framework, Ground Water Development Prospects Aquifer Management Plan in Parts of Angul District, Odisha 2 objectives: to define the aquifer geometry with precise lateral and vertical demarcation down to the depth of 200 mbgl, to define the behaviour of ground water regime in time and space, To study the hydraulic characteristics of both shallow and deeper aquifers,to study the hydrochemistry of aquifer systems,to prepare Aquifer Maps indicating dispositions of aquifers along with their characterization and to formulate the Aquifer Management Plans for sustainable development and management of ground water resources.
