Ground water is playing a vital role in the fulfilment of drinking, irrigational and
industrial needs of the district. Although the ground water was in use since the ancient times,
but with the population explosion, multi cropping practices in agriculture sector and rapid
industrial development including hotel industry have profoundly enhanced the need of water
in the district. In recent time the dependency on ground water has increased manifold for socioeconomic and agricultural development of the region to a great extent on easily availability
with low capital cost. Being an important tourist place, the need of drinking water in this
metropolis has also been increased a lot. Side by side, due to occurrence of brackish and saline
ground water pockets at varying depth and increasing pollution in surface water resources, the
water supply is becoming a great problem day by day especially in urban areas.
