Lakhimpur Kheri district is located in the Tarai region along the Himalayan foothills,
lying between 27.600 N to 28.600 N latitude and 80.340 E to 81.300 E longitude in the North
Western part of Uttar Pradesh. The district shares its northern border with Nepal, and its
neighbouring districts are Bahraich, Sitapur, Hardoi, Shahjahanpur, and Pilibhit from east to
west, respectively. The district covers an area of approximately 7701 square kilometres. The NAQUIM study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the ground water situation
in the district, revealing that there is a substantial amount of ground water available in all blocks of the district at shallow depths, which can sufficiently meet the water requirements of the area.
