Aquifer Mapping and Management Program is a project launched by Central Ground Water Board under MoWR, RD GR in response to the overuse, pollution, and other associated
problems with groundwater. Gonda district lies between latitudes 26˚46' and 27˚27' north and longitude 81˚31' and 82˚37' east, in Survey of India Toposheet No. 63E 63I. The total geographical area of the district is 3987 sq. km. Geologically, the area is underlain by thick fluvial Quaternary sediments, deposited by Himalayan River system and their tributaries. Depth to water level in Shallow / Phreatic aquifers varies from 2.1 to 6.65 mbgl. The most ground water quality related issue is concentration of the Fe in shallow aquifer in most of the blocks.
