There has been a paradigm shift from “groundwater development” to “Groundwater
management” in the past two decades in the country. An accurate and comprehensive microlevel picture of groundwater through aquifer mapping in different hydrogeological settings
would enable robust groundwater management plans in an appropriate scale. Aquifer mapping
is a process wherein a combination of geologic, geophysical, hydrologic and chemical field
and laboratory analyses are applied to characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of
ground water in aquifers. This would help achieving drinking water security, improved
irrigation facility and sustainability in water resources development in large parts of rural
India, and many parts of urban India.
