The administrative setup is based on single line administration which aims to keep close co operation amongst various developmental departments with the district administration and thus, to work together for the speedy development of the area. Physiographically, the area is highly uneven with very thick vegetation and is characterised by flat to low hills in the northern parts high ridges and peaks in the central part and (3) narrow and steep gorges in the southern part. The minimum and maximum elevations in the area are 108 m. and 4490 m above mean sea level respectively. Majority of the ridges trend NE-SW while few trend N-S. The general trend of the ridges is parallel to the regional tectonic lineament. Geology geology of the district varies from newer alluvium to metamorphics of Proterozoic and the district is structurally charaterised by anticlines, synclines, ripple marks, faults and multiple phases of folding. The area comprises of various rock types belonging to Alluvium, Disang, Barail, Tipam and Dihing group which is interrupted with the presence of unconfirmity. The entire study area is covered by regular monitoring of 04 nos. of GWMS and another 10 wells have been established. All the water level data were collected and the wells are monitored periodically. CGWB has constructed 07 no’s of exploratory wells in this area earlier and during current annual action plan (2022-2023) one (01) no. of piezometer well has been constructed.
