The awareness among the public about the importance of the groundwater has increased during the recent years. The need for groundwater being felt by all sectors because of the
shortage of surface water sources to mitigate the growing needs of the society. Recently the problems of decline in water table, contamination of groundwater, seawater intrusion etc are
being reported at many places. The shortage of rainfall in recent years and the increased utilisation of ground water caused concern among the public that water may become scarce
commodity in future. In order to assess the real situation of groundwater conditions, it is very
essential to monitor the groundwater level and water quality over time and space. Central Ground Water Board is monitoring water level and quality through a network of Ground
Water Monitoring Wells distributed throughout the State. The monitoring started from the year 1969 for nine monitoring wells and the numbers of monitoring wells were increased
during the subsequent years and became 224 by the year 1979 and the number became 460 by the year 1988. Presently the total number of Ground Water Monitoring Wells (GWMWs) through out the Kerala State is 1638. Water level is being monitored four times a year during January, April, August and November months and water quality is being monitored from the water samples collected from GWMWs during April.
