National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) has been taken up in XII five year plan by CGWB to carry out detailed hydrogeological investigation on 1:50,000 scale. The NAQUIM has been prioritized to study Over-exploited, Critical and Semi-Critical blocks as well as the other stress areas recommended by the State Govt. 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 aquifers. The management plan has been proposed to manage the ground water resources and to arrest further decline in water levels. The management plan comprises two components namely supply-side management and demand side management. As a part of Supply Side Management, a total 33 Percolation tanks and 91 Check dams are proposed, in Dhule block whereas, 21 Percolation tanks and 58 Check dams are proposed, in Sakri block which will augment ground water resources to the tune of 6.97MCM (4.95 MCM by Percolation tanks and, 2.02 MCM by Check dams) in Dhule block whereas ground water resources to the tune of 4.46 MCM (3.15 MCM by Percolation tanks and, 1.31 MCM by Check dams) in Sakri block.
