Large parts of India, particularly hard rock aquifers have become water stressed due to rapid growth in demand for water in response to growth in population, irrigation, urbanization and changing life
style. Therefore, in order to have an accurate and comprehensive micro-level picture of ground water in India, aquifer mapping tool has been devised. Aquifer mapping is a scientific process, wherein a combination of geologic, geophysical, hydrologic and chemical field and laboratory analyses are applied to characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of ground water in aquifers. Systematic
aquifer mapping at the appropriate scale can help prepare, implement and monitor the efficacy of various management interventions aimed at long-term sustainability of precious ground water
resources. This helps to achieve drinking water security, improved irrigation facilities and sustainability in water resources development for the study area. Also results of these studies
contributes significantly to resource management tools such as long-term aquifer monitoring networks and conceptual and quantitative regional ground-water-flow models to be used by planners, policy makers and other stakeholders. Aquifer mapping is expected to improve understanding of the users about geologic framework of aquifers, their hydrologic characteristics, water levels in the aquifers and how they change over time, and the occurrence of natural and anthropogenic contaminants that affect the potability of available ground water. Thus, this study will help reaching the goal-that of ground water management through community participation.
