India is the largest user of ground water in the world and development activities over the years have
adversely affected the ground water regime in many parts of the country. Hence, there is an urgent
need for an accurate and comprehensive picture of ground water resources available, through
aquifer mapping in different hydro-geological settings, to enable the preparation of robust
groundwater management plans for this natural resource. Aquifer mapping at the appropriate scale
has to be devised for a sustainable management plan of this precious resource.
