Aquifer mapping is a multidisciplinary scientific approach wherein a combination of geologic,
geophysical, hydrologic and chemical analysis is applied to characterize the quantity, quality
and sustainability of ground water in aquifers. In recent past, there has been a paradigm shift
from “groundwater development” to “groundwater management”. As large parts of India
particularly hard rock aquifers have become water stressed due to rapid growth in demand for
water due to population growth, irrigation, urbanization and changing lifestyle. Therefore, in
order to have an accurate and comprehensive micro-level picture of groundwater in India,
aquifer mapping in different hydrogeological settings at the appropriate scale is devised and
implemented, to enable robust groundwater management plans. This will help in achieving
drinking water security, improved irrigation facility and sustainability in water resources
development in large parts of rural and many parts of urban India. The aquifer mapping program
is important for planning suitable adaptation strategies to meet climate change also.
