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 the re-appraisal of groundwater 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.
