Trend analysis of Pre-monsoon water level and Post-monsoon water level during the past decade (2013 – 2022) indicates declining trend of groundwater levels in the Pre-monsoon season in most parts of the District and a raising trend of groundwater levels in the Post-monsoon season. The management plan has been proposed for all 10 blocks of the district. Total volume of subsurface storage space available for artificial recharge is 188.19 mcm and the total non-committed surplus surface water available in the district is 163.79 mcm, which can be utilized to bring down the Stage of Ground Water Development.
