The rainfall occurrence in the country is monsoon dependent and in large part of the countryrain fall is
limited to about three months period ranging from around 20 to 30 days. Thenatural recharge to ground
water reservoir is restricted to this period only. The artificialrecharge techniques aim at increasing the
recharge period in the post-monsoon season forabout 3 more months providing additional recharge. This
results in providing sustainability toground water development during the lean season.There is thus a
need to prepare a systematicimplementation plan for augmenting ground waterresources under various
hydrogeological situations. However specific emphasis needs to begiven in the areas where ground
water levels are declining and water scarcity is beingexperienced. In this report emphasis has been given
to the areas with declining trend and deepground water levels.
