The scope of the present study is broadly within the framework of National
Aquifer Mapping Management Programme (NAQUIM) being implemented by
CGWB. There are four major activity components viz.: (i) Data collection /
compilation (ii) Data gap analysis (iii) Data generation and (VI) Preparation of
aquifer maps and management plan to achieve the primary Objective. Data
compilation includes collection, and wherever required procurement, of all maps
and data from concerned agencies, such as the Survey of India, Geological Survey
of India, State Governments etc., computerization and analyses of all acquired
data, and preparation of a knowledge base. Collection and compilation of litholog,
wells assembly, electrical log reports and yield test data of the tube wells of PHED,
Govt. of west Bengal and Agri Irrigation Department of Govt. of West Bengal
plays an important role in accomplishing the work. Identification of Data Gap
includes ascertaining requirement for further data generation (hydro-geological,
geophysical, chemical, hydrological, hydro-meteorological etc.) in addition to the
existing data in respect of prevailing hydrogeological subsurface geological
condition in the area. Data generation includes pre and post monsoon monitoring
of aquifer wise water level from the existing network monitoring wells and other
available feasible wells, spot measurements of electrical conductivity of the water
samples from the wells, incorporation of observation based on field studies, data
collection through ground water exploration work in the study area, collection of
water samples etc.
