Aquifer mapping is a process wherein a combination of geologic, geophysical, hydrologic and chemical analyses is applied to characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of ground water in aquifers. Godavari Delta is one of the major delta systems along the east coast of India. The naturally formed two major branches of Godavari River called Gauthami Godavari and Vasishta Godavari divide it into three units viz., Eastern Delta, Central Delta and Western Delta. Administratively the Eastern Delta and Central Delta are in East Godavari District and the Western Delta is in West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh.
