Aquifer mapping is a process wherein a combination of geologic, geophysical,
hydrologic and chemical analyses 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 rocks have become water stressed due to rapid growth in demand for water
due to population growth, irrigation, urbanization and changing life style. 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.
Thus the crux of National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) is not merely mapping, but reaching
the goal-that of ground water management through community participation.
