Central Ground water Board has taken up National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) programme during the XIIth five year plan to carry out integration of micro level hydrogeological, geophysical, hydro chemical data and information on geology, geomorphology, soil, hydrometeorology, hydrology, landuse, cropping pattern etc on a GIS platform to formulate district, block or aquifer-wise Ground Water Management Plan. The formulation of sustainable ground water management plan would help in achieving the demand for drinking, irrigation and industrial need for water with minimal stress on the aquifer. The district is divided into 14 Community Development Blocks, which in turn are further subdivided into 342 Gram Panchayats comprising of 1969 villages in the rural front and on the urban side it comprises of 2 Municipal Corporation and 2 Notified Area Councils.
