Aquifer mapping studies were carried out in the Vaippar aquifer system covering a mappable
area of 6323sq. km. covering parts of Madurai, Ramanathapuram, Thirunelvelli, Thoothukudi
and Virudhunagar districts of Tamilnadu. The data pertinent to geology, geophysics,
hydrology, hydrochemistry was collected, synthesised and analysed to bring out this report.
This report mainly comprises the Aquifer geometry and Aquifer properties of the study area
which are considered to be measuring scales for groundwater availability and potentiality.
Keeping these parameters in view a sustainable management plan has been suggested through
which the groundwater needs can be fulfilled in a rational way.
