Central Ground Water Board, Ministry of Water Resources, River Development Ganga Rejuvenation, Government of India, for mapping and managing the entire aquifer systems in the country has undertaken Micro Level Aquifer Mapping in entire country representing different hydro geological terrains of the country. In Uttarakhand 1107.77 sq km area of Nainital district comprising of Haldwani and Ramnagar blocks has been year marked for Aquifer Mapping during 2021-22 The present report embodies the above objective in parts of the Nainital district having area of 1107.77 Sq. Km, comprising of 2 blocks i.e., Ramnagar and Haldwani. The objective of this flagship project is to establish the methodology to identify and map the aquifers at the micro level in typical multi aquifer system of the alluvial area, to quantify the available groundwater resources, and to propose groundwater development plans appropriate to the scale of demand and aquifer characteristics, and the institutional arrangements for participatory management. The pilot study integrates multiple disciplinary and scientific approaches including remote sensing, hydrogeology, geophysics, hydrochemistry, drilling, ground water modeling and management plans.
