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 7811sq km has been year marked for Aquifer Mapping during 2012-17. The present report embodies the above objective in parts of the Udham Singh Nagar district having area of 888 km sq, comprising of 3 blocks i.e Jaspur, Kashipur and Bazpur block. 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.
