The core idea of NAQUIM is to prepare aquifer wise management of ground water by identifying and mapping of aquifers, quantifying the available groundwater resource potential and
proposing plans appropriate to the scale of demand, aquifer characteristics and the institutional arrangements for management. Based on the individual size and nature of aquifer, stress on the resource and prevailing water quality, Naquin aims to prepare micro level aquifer information system. In areas having adequate data base from the completed hydrogeological surveys, aquifer map
in 1:50,000 scale will be prepared and aquifer information system will be created with minimal field data collection. In identified areas, detailed mapping with integrated hydrogeological, geophysical,
geochemical and remote sensing and modelling studies will be taken up and used for preparation of large scale aquifer map and aquifer information system.
