Hydrogeology

Based on yield potential characteristics of aquifers, the State can be divided into three zones. The first one comprises of 26,090 sq.km in parts of Sirsa, Hissar, Bhiwani, Mahendergarh & Jind Districts, where tubewells can yield 50 m3/hr. The second one falls in parts of Hissar, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Bhiwani and Gurgaon Districts, covering an area of 7100 sq.km tubewells in this zone, can yield between 50-150m3/hr. The third one extends by 9200 sq.km in parts of Ambala, Kuruskshetra, Karnal and Sonepat Districts, where the yield varies between 150-200 m3/hr. An area of 1660 sq.km in parts of Gurgaon, Bhiwani and Mahendergarh Districts is underlain by consolidated formations, where the yield prospects of aquifers are limited.
