District Amethi lies at the latitude 26°9´North and longitude 81°49´East at an average
elevation of 101 meters (331 feet) from mean sea level. The total geographic area of the district is about 2330 Sq. Km. The district is bounded on North side by Faizabad district, south side by Pratapgarh district. On the West side, the district is bounded by Barabanki district and Raibareily district. Aquifer mapping is a process wherein a combination of geologic, geophysical, hydrologic and chemical field and laboratory analyses are applied to characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of ground water in aquifers. The blocks where groundwater extraction is above 65% are Amethi, Bahadurpur-II, Bhadar, Jagdishpur and Shukul Bazar. Over rest part of the district the stage of ground water extraction varies between 56% to 63%. It is evident that there is still scope for development of groundwater resource in the district in future.
