The groundwater is the most valuable resource for the country. However, due to rapid and uneven development, this resource has come under stress in several parts of the country. Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) is, therefore, involved in hydrogeological investigations for Re-appraisal of ground water regime. CGWB has also carried out ground water exploration in different phases with prime objective of demarcating and identifying the potential aquifers in different terrains for evaluating the aquifer parameters and also for developing them in future. The reports and maps generated from the studies are mostly based on administrative units such as districts and blocks and depict the subsurface disposition of aquifer on regional scale. However, due to paradigm shift in focus from development to management of ground water in last one decade, the need for more reliable and comprehensive aquifer maps on larger scale has been felt for equitable and sustainable management of the ground water resources at local scale.
