This report deals with work carried out under National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) project in parts of Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand during the AAP: 2017-2018. Aquifer Mapping can be defined as a scientific process, wherein a combination of geologic, geophysical, hydrologic and chemical field and laboratory analyses are applied to characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of ground water in aquifers. Results of an aquifer mapping programme can contribute significantly to resource management tools such as developing a long-term aquifer monitoring network and formulating conceptual and quantitative groundwater flow models that can be used by planners, policy makers and other stakeholders.
