National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) had been taken up by CGWB to create robust database of hydrogeological information at 1:50,000 scale for sustainable groundwater. Aquifer mapping is a multidisciplinary and a holistic scientific approach wherein a combination of geological, geophysical, hydrological and chemical analysis is applied to characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of groundwater in aquifers. It had been taken up by CGWB to carry out detailed hydrogeological investigation on toposheet scale of 1:50,000. The vagaries of rainfall, inherent heterogeneity and unsustainable nature of hard rock aquifers, over exploitation of aquifers, insufficient regulation mechanism has a detrimental effect on groundwater scenario of the country in last decade or so. Thus, ing the paradigm shift from “traditional groundwater development concept” to “modern groundwater management concept”.
