River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Government of India has a vision to identify and
map the aquifers at the micro level with their characteristics, to quantify the available
groundwater resources, propose plans appropriate to the scale of demand and institutional
arrangements for participatory management in order to formulate a viable strategy for the
sustainable development and management of the precious resource which is subjected to
