Aquifer mapping is a multivarient multidisciplinary scientific approach wherein integration 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”. In the southern parts of India peninusula mostly hard rock aquifers have become water stressed due to rapid growth in irrigation has led to demand for ground water due to population growth, 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 plays vital role for planning suitable development and adaptation of 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.
