The scope of the present study is broadly outlined within the framework of National
Aquifer Management Programme (NAQUIM) being implemented by CGWB. In the present
report an effort has been made to consider the four major activities viz (i) Data collection /
compilation (ii) Data gap analysis (iii) Data generation and (iv) Preperation of aquifer maps and
management plan to achieve the primary objective. Data compilation includes collection of data
and maps from concerned Agencies, such as the Survey of India, Geological Survey of India,
State Ground Water Department, U.P. Jal Nigam, Revenue Department., computerization and
analysis of all acquired data and preparation of a data base. Identification of Data Gap included
ascertaining requirement for further data generation in respect of hydrometeorological,
hydrogeological, geophysical chemical studies. Data generation includes those of
hydrometeorological, soil infiltration, and sub-surface geophysics, chemical quality of ground
water, lithologs and aquifer parameters. Generation of ground water chemical quality data was
accomplished by collection of water samples and their laboratory analysis for all major
10
parameters and heavy metals. Sub-surface geophysical studies are incorporated borehole logging.
The data pertaining to sub-surface lithology and aquifer parameters are obtained through studies
of lithological logs of existing exploratory wells, pumping tests and their analysis
