1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 HISTORY OF CGWB The Central Ground Water Board, as the National apex organization under the Ministry of Water Resources, Govt. of India is vested with the responsibilities to carry out ground water management studies, exploration, monitoring of development, management and regulation of country's vast ground water resources. A brief history of the organization follows; An Exploratory Tubewells Organisation (ETO) was created in 1954 as a subordinate office under the then Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Community Development and Cooperation (Department of Agriculture ) to carry out ground water exploration in the alluvial areas of the country to delineate the regional aquifer systems and evaluate their yield potential. On 3rd October 1970 the ETO was renamed as Central Ground Water Board. At that time, it was felt that there was need to have a national unified organization for all works related to ground water surveys, exploration, assessment and management in the country. On the recommendations of the Committee on Science and Technology, the Standing Group of Ministers on Science and Technology chaired by Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi, in its meeting on Sept 9, 1971 approved the merger of Ground Water Wing of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) with the Central Ground Water Board. The merger was effected on August 1, 1972 which gave all the administrative and financial powers and flexibility of operation necessary for CGWB’s effective functioning. With this, Central Ground Water Board was constituted as an apex organization at the national level with a full time Chairman and two full time Members namely the Chief Hydrogeologist and the Chief Engineer. In order to streamline staffing pattern, SIU carried out detailed study (1980) and gave its report on staffing pattern of Headquarters, Regional, Divisional and District Unit Office. A High Level Multi-disciplinary Committee (HLMC) was set up in 1989 to review the role, functions and responsibilities of CGWB in terms of achievements and developments over the past three decades. The HLMC report (1990) highlighted the importance of ground water development and indicated the measures to be taken for achievement of tasks and mandate assigned to CGWB. The Committee reviewed the functions and gave the revised mandate. In order to provide scientific and technical support to the mandate, Central Ground Water Board conduct training programmes for various levels of ground water professionals/ sub-professionals from CGWB, States, Universities and NGOs. The courses include induction level courses for newly recruited scientists, engineers and drilling professionals; refresher courses for scientists on advanced techniques of ground water investigation, development and management; and training of trainers. The Board had established Rajiv Gandhi National Ground Water Training & Research Institute in 1997 at Raipur. Infrastructure facilities were created by redeploying officers and staff from Central Ground Water Board. The building of the Institute has since been taken over by the Chhattisgarh State to house Legislative Assembly in 2000. It is proposed to relaunch the institute at Raipur in the newly allotted land by the Government of Chhattisgarh, SFC Memorandum in this regard is under submission. Presently the training courses are being conducted at Central Headquarters and various Regional Offices of the Board.

Central Ground Water Authority has been constituted under Section 3 (3) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 to regulate and control development and management of ground water resources in the country.

The Authority has been conferred with the following powers: (i) Exercise of powers under section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 for issuing directions and taking such measures in respect of all the matters referred to in sub-section (2) of section 3 of the said Act.(ii) To resort to penal provisions contained in sections 15 to 21 of the said Act.(iii) To regulate and control, management and development of ground water in the country and to issue necessary regulatory directions for the purpose. (iv) Exercise of powers under section 4 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 for the appointment of officers.

Ground Water Management studies were carried in more utility oriented way and in areas facing ground water problems like decline in water levels, water logging, salinity ingress and quality deterioration, and other problems were accorded priority. In ground water exploration, emphasis was given to carry ground water exploration activities on long-term planning and schemes were prepared for different geologic formations and areas. As far as possible, contiguous and composite areas hitherto unexplored, were selected keeping in view scientific requirements and priorities of State Governments were also taken into consideration. Thrust was given to explore areas

having artesian flow, bouldary and hard rock formations. Ground Water Exploration in alluvial areas was done to delineate geometry of aquifer systems by constructing slim holes. During the year, special emphasis was given on tribal, drought and desert areas in exploratory program of the Board. Special studies for computation of specific yield of phreatic aquifers in different parts of the country was also the part of exploratory program. The Central Ground Water Board is implementing the Central Sector Scheme "Studies on Recharge of Ground Water". Under the scheme, recharge structures are constructed by State Government departments, local NGOs, VOs or other beneficiaries under the technical guidance of the Board. Under the scheme, funds were provided by the Board for pilot recharge projects and the implementing agencies were encouraged to replicate similar types of structures in other areas with their own funds. Conjunctive use studies were taken up with the objectives to ascertain the Hydrogeological conditions in command areas, to identify areas affected by water logging and salinity, to assess the availability of ground water. The studies provided insight of the problem and helped to formulate action plan for coordinated use of surface and ground water to ensure development on optimal level. Water logging is a common phenomenon in canal command areas, which causes serious social and economic problems. Micro level mapping of a few water logged areas were taken up to understand and mitigate the problem. Feasibility studies were also carried out to suggest anti water logging measures for reclaiming the affected areas. Remote sensing and application of GIS as supplementary tool has been considerably utilized to map geomorphological feature, change in land use, fracture zones, vulnerable areas of pollution etc which helped in locating promising areas for ground water exploration and development. These studies provided additional update scientific information in synoptic manner about land use pattern and its temporal changes to ground water exploratory programme, reappraisal surveys, ground water pollution studies, water logging condition, erosion problem and artificial recharge studies taken by the Board during the year.

2. GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT STUDIES Ground Water Management Studies are being carried by the Board at district level to evaluate the changes in quantity & quality in the ground water regime owing to development and also to identify related issues for future management strategies. A major part of replenishment of ground water is through infiltration from rainfall. Return flow from irrigation and seepage from surface channels and reservoirs also contribute substantially to the ground water recharge. The effect of ground water withdrawals and out-flows are directly measurable through water table. Since all these inputs and outputs frequently change with time, the ground water situation is being periodically reappraised. As the development of resource leads to changes in its regime and water quality therefore planning for further development of the resource is to be done on the basis of findings of the studies, which provide valuable information for reorienting ground water development programme keeping in view the emerging scenarios. During the year 2007-2008, an area of 1,64,087 Sq.km. have been covered by the Board under Ground Water Management studies as against target of 1,61,807 Sq km. State/District wise target vis-a-vis achievements during the year 2007-2008 is shown in Table 2.1 and fig. 2.1.

Parts of Baramulla and Kupwara -500 sqkm) was covered during the survey 2.1.1 Doda District: - The survey was aimed at understanding the hydro-geological set up of the area, mode of occurrence of groundwater, recharge and discharge characteristics and chemical quality and defor domestic and irrigation purposes. Besides this, relevant data viz., agriculture, climate & rainfall, land utilization, discharge of river/nallas & cropping pattern etc was collected and analysed. During the course of investigation, apart from the hydro-geological traverses 10 springs and 48 hand pumps were inventoried and 73 water samples were collected to ascertain the quality of groundwater. 15 samples were analysis of iron in the groundwater. Groundwater occurrence mainly in the form of spring is observed in theGroundwater recharge in the area mainly takes place from rainfall and snow fall in the higher reaches. In the unconsolidated formation groundwater also occurs under water table conditions in the valleys. Fracture porosity rather than grain porosity is found to be an effective factor from point of view of occurrence of groundwater in the area. The occurrence and movement of groundwater in different aquifer is controlled by the structural features in addition to topography. Groundwater occurs in cracks, crevices and joints of these rocks. On the consideration of the facts mentioned earlier, it is felt that Kishtwar plateau area has groundwater potentialities. It is probable that the high level springs are not tapping the entire flow in the vicinity. It appears some water is passing away as subsurface flow along the spring line Gurdesh Nag which is a substantial source of water supply in the Kishtwar area needs further development. This particular source of water is not tapped to its full capacity, if it properly developed to the full extent. Hence this source alone is ample for water supply in the Kishtwar area. In Bhaderwah area the source of water supply is from khuls and canals. Surface flow in the area is perennial. In Doda area the source of water supply is from khuls. Ganapat spring is the only potential water supply in the Doda area. This source should be tapped for the Doda water supply and if this source is exploited to its full capacity the existing water supply of this drought pronaugmented. In Ramban area the source of water supply is mainly from Sarudah Nallah. Metra spring is the potential source of water supply in Ramban area. The quality of groundwater in the area of investigation is good for domestic and irrigation purposes. It is fresh and potable. Groundwate The main source of water supply in the area is from nallahs

and springs. Generally these sources are free from pollution because of hilly terrain. But the groundwater in some areas is being affected by Fluoride and iron. In Ghat area, the fluoride content is observed above permissible limits as per the standards set up by BIS. In Bhaderwah area the groundwater contains more iron than permissible limits. In these areas it requires detail sampling in future. 2.1.2: Parts of Baramulla and Kupwara Districts: The present study has been carried out with a view to ascertain the changes in ground water regime with reference

Ground water occurs under unconfined to semi-confined conditions in fine to coarse grained sand, gravel and boulders occurring at few places in alluvial formation and silty sand to fine sand mixed with clays and at places coarse sand and gravel occurring in Karewa formations. Most of the wells inventoried are mainly dug wells and few hand pumps. Apart from

preparation of ground water potential maps for deeper aquifers. Dug wells located in upper Karewas generally tap sand and silty layers and water level is generally 2 to 4 m bgl. Depth to water level becomes deeper towards higher reaches of the area falling in the depth range of 4 to 6 m bgl. Depth to water levels in alluvial areas is very shallow i.e. les

Statistical analysis of the data shows that depth to water level (DTW) in 32% of wells fall within the range of 0 to 2.00 m bgl, maximum of them are less than 1.00 m bgl. 42% of wells fall within the range of 2 to 4 m bgl, 18% of wells fall with in the depth range of 4 to 6 m bgl

November- December. It is observed that there is minor variations in depth to water levels in the area with compared to depth to water levels of 1980. Water table contours generally follow the topographic contours and they are closely spaced representing the fine grained nature of the aquifer system and low permeability. Yield characters of deep tubewells present in the area have been analyzed. Grounin studwater from deeper aquifer is generally associated with marshy gasses and contwhich is basically geo-genic in nature. The ground water is fresh and potable and is fit for all purposes Ground Water Problems: Present ground water development in study area is low and only few tube wells are present in the study area. However, most of the tube wells in the

study area are artesian, auto-flowing in nature. The main problems being encountered ithe development of ground water resources are- high artesian pressure, presence of marshy gasses and high iron content in deeper aquifers. The areas with water problems are demarcated and remedial measures are being recommended. Water logging is another problem which is also causing problems to the people living in the study area.

2.2 Himachal he Ground Water Management Studies were carried out in Solan district of Himachal radesh.

During pre-monsoon period inventoried 49 dugwells, 81 springs and 22 hand pumps. Depth to water level was ranging from 0.56 mbgl to 49 mbgl and discharge of springs ranging from seepage to 15.36 lps. During the post monsoon period remonitoring of key wells and key springs were carried out i

Annual water level fluctuation has been worked out by comparing depth to water level recorded during May 2006 & May 2007. Average fall & rise is 0.33 & 0.74 m respectively. The depth to water is deep in the vicinity of the hills and is shallower in the low lying areas mainly along or near the stream/river channels. Ground water follows the general topography of the area.

Ground Water Problems: Most of the ground water issues and problems in the district are localized and need to be treated independently. Presently large development of ground water is observed in industrial belts of Nalagarh valley wherein fall of water level down to six meters have been observed in some parts. Thus, ground water level epletion and also vulnerability to ground water pollution is major issues in this industrial

dbelt. The quality of ground water in this area is observed to be good and potable.

Recommendations: The following recommendation emerged during the study In alluvial areas of Nalagarh valley, though there is scope for ground water development as stage of ground water development is only 27.6 %, however, there is need to adopt cautious and phased manner ground water development approach in view of depleting water levels in some parts. This industrial area is highly prone and vulnerable to surface & ground water pollution thus water quality monitoring at close network is essential.

. The climate of the district can be classified as tropical and dry sub-humid. The drinking water supply schemes in the district are based on ground water sources through

67 tubewells (Rural Water Supply) were monitored for pre and post-monsoon period. The depth to water

in varies from 6.95 m bgl at Alawalpur (block- Adampur) to 30.50 bgl at Kotla Gazar (block- Shahkot). Larger part of the district is covered under water

level in the depth range of 15 to 20 m.

Proper waste/effluent disposal measures are required to be adopted by industrial units. There is need to protect traditional water harvesting structures like ponds, tanks, talavs to utilize these for rain water harvesting and recharging shallow aquifers. Roof top rainwater harvesting practices can be adopted in hilly areas and urban areas, since the district receives fair amount of rainfall. Traditional water storage systems need to be revived.

Behror, Mandawar, Bansur, Kotkasim, Tijara, Kishangarh have more than 100% stage of ground water development ranging from 125.44% in Behror to a maximum of 220.65% in Bansur block. All blocks have been categorized under over-exploited category. 2.4.3 Sheo Block, Barmer district :Sheo block falls in drought prone zone and forms part of Great Indian Thar Desert which over the years suffering from scarcity of water. An area of 6616 sq.km. is covered under the studies. The region is covered by wind blown sand. Sand dunes form a prominent feature of topography. The drainage of the area is under developed and internalRvariation. The average annual rainfall is 220 mm and repeated drought is a common phenomenon. The district is poor in forest and has sandy soil in the study area. In the study area, three aquifers have been demarcated which are Upper Tertiary sandstone, Lathi sandstone and Malani Granites. Tertiary Sandstone and Lathi Sandstone are main water bearing formation covering 80% of the area while rest of area i.e.ofrom 5 to 115mbgl. Ground water occurs in all the formations but the most productive are the Tertiary sandstone and Lathi sandstone. In semi-consolidated Tertiary and Lathi formations, the ground water occurs under unconfined to confined conditions and Malani granites under phreatic condition. The ground water quality in the area varies widely from potable to saline. Tertiary formation consists of alternate layers of clay and shale which are unproductive aquifers but Tertiary sandstone of this formation is productive aquifer. The Lathi formation consists of semi-consolidated, medium to coarse grained sandstone with subordinate amount of gravel is a comparatively high yielding aquifer. Malani granites are practically impervious sparingly jointed and weathered in to a impervious residium lessening the water bearing capacity of this formation, the water yielding capacity of the rock units decrease with depth.

In the course of study, 70 key observation wells were selected and inventoried for pre-monsoon and post monsoon water levels. 45 water samples were collected from representative wells The Depth to water level Pre & Post monsoon range from 3.95 mbgl to 14.70 mbgl & 1.60 mbgl to 14.40 mbgl respectively. The general geological succession in the area is granites (basement), which in turn is overlain by Bijawars, Vindhyans and alluvium. The Bijawars and Vindhyans are confined to the southern part of Bijawar block and the alluvium is confined to river chanels. The granitic terrain is traversed by NE-SW trending quartz ridges. The aquifer occurring in the study area are not highly potential. The alluvium is of limited thickness and supports tubewells having discharge of 7 –8 lps. The weathered and fractured portion of the granite sustain tubewells of upto 5 lps discharge. The solution opening in the Bijawar limestone are promising for ground water development. 2.7 Chhattisgarh During AAP 2007-08, Ground Water Management studies were taken up in Dhamtari and Kanker districts of Chhattisgarh State covering an area of 6000 Sqkm. 2.7.1 Dhamtari district: The DhT1273.45 mm with 45 to50 rainy days.

sandstone and limestone aquifers were estimated as 0.0014 and 0.021 respectively. The transmissivity values of granites remains below 100 m2/day, whereas that of sandstone ranges from 10-56 m2/day and remains between 4 and 450 m2/day for imestone. l The management strategies for groundwater is suggested as follows; The low ground water development in command area needs to be enhanced conjunctively with surface water resources. The area with karstic limestone aquifer can be targeted for this purpose within particularly in command area. This area is suitable for ground water development

through bore wells up to 150 m depth. Within the command area, alluvium aquifer is being developed extensively. In the non-command area the scope of ground water development is limited, and the aquifer here are not much productive Numbers of shallow filter point wells are being constructed for irrigation purpose along the alike of than 30m . mainlyperforated pipes with thin gravel packing as a result presence of silt in the pumped water is notidesign The all ea, which is a buried palaeochannel, has been identifi as potential zone for artificial recharge.

Water samples of two springs (Sahastradhara, Barlowganj) and one hand pump (Maldeota) showed electric conductivity higher than 750 µS/cm at 25°C. The highest EC of 1669 µS/cm at 25°C was found at Maldeota. This might be due to the location of these wells in the vicinity of Tal Group of rocks. 2.10.2 Hardwar District:

on

Hardwar district covering 2360 sq. km. Physiographically, Hardwar district lies in the foothills of Himalaya. Topographically, the district represents two distinct units namely, Shiwaliks Hill Range and Indogangetic Alluvial Plains. The district is divided into three geomorphological units namely structural hills, piedmont plain and flood plain. The district is divided into three distinct geological units which are Siwalik Group, Bhabar and Indogangetic Alluvial Plains. Siwalik Group of rocks mainly consists of boulders, conglomerate, sandstone and claystone. Bhabar consists of boulders, sand aThe Indogangetic Alluvium comprises sand, slit, clay, gravels and kankar. A sudden topographic rise of Siwalik Range demarcates the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT) or Foot Hill Thrust, locally known as Mohand Thrust. During the course of present hydrogeological investigation, 80 hand pumps and 18 dug wells were monitored in pre & Post-monsoon period, addition to existing Ground Water Monitoring Wells. Eighty nine water samples for partial/complete chemical analysis and 38 acid treated water samples for heavy metal analysis were collected during the present study. The details of hand pumps and dug wells are discussed here under: Hand Pumps: Eighty-five hand pumps were selected and inventoried. The pre-monsoon water level of the selected hand pumps drilled in Indogangetic Alluvium Plains, ranges from 0.78 to 24.13m bgl and that of post-monsoon ranges from 0.64 to 21.76m bgl. The hand pumps which were drilled in piedmont (Bhabar) area shows deeper water level. The deepest water level in the hand pump is observed at Laldhang, having pre and post monsoon water level 50.20 and 49.16m bgl respectively. The present study reveals that 89.41% of the hwater level between 0 and 2 m. The water level rise ranges from 0.02 to 5.63 m. About 10.59% of total hand pumps shows decline in water level. The 88.89% of total hand pumps show decline in water level between 0 and 2 m. The Decline in water level ranges from 0.11 to 6.72 m.

Dug Wells: 24 dug wells were established and monitored. The dug wells are common in the district and many of them have gone dried-up. The pre-monsoon water level of selected dug wells ranges from 1.60 to 20.81m bgl and that of post-monsoon it ranges from 1.79 to 19.56m bgl. The dug wells located in piedmont (Bhabar) area show deeper water levels.

All the hand pumps show decline in water level with the minimum decline of 0.02 m and the maximum of 0.52 m. Summary of findings: As per the pre and post monsoon data of hand pumps and dug wells, 84.40% of total structures measured during pre and post monsoon shows rise in water. Only 15.60% of total wells shows decline in water level. There is no ground water pollution reported in district. Based on the water level data, it can be concluded that multilayer aquifer system prevails in the district. 2.10.3: Champawat district: Groundwater Management Studies were carried out in Champawat district covering 1781 sq. km. The district is bounded by Nepal to the east, which also constitute the international boundary marked by River Mahakali. The annual rainfall for the year 2007 is 1747 mm.

Km. area in Samastipur, Vaishali, Madhubani districts of Bihar district. 2.11.1: Samastipur district:-Ground water management study was carried out in Samastipur district and adjoining areas, Bihar covering an area of 3000 Km2. The objective was to analyze in depth the extent of geogenic contamination of ground water with arsenic in the study area. The study area forms part of an extensive alluvial plain of the River Ganga, which is punctuated by small mounds, leeves and shallow depressions locally referred as “Tal”. It is drained by the Burhi-Gandak and the Bagmati rivers which are tribcvarying proportion. Conspicuous lateral and vertical variations in lithology is observed in available borehole records of CGWB and state govt. A total of 109 key wells were inventoried (65 dug wells and 54 hand pumps). A total of 124 water samples were collected from the study area during the pre-monsoon period, out of which 62 samples were solely collected for analysis of As, Fe and Mn. Sampling was repeated during the post-monsoon period to account for the seasonal variation, if any, in concentration of chemical parameters. Water level measurements undertaken during the pre-monsoon period has shown that depth to water level rests within 7.0 m bgl and during the post-monsoon period the general depth to water level in the area remains within 3.0 m bgl. Detailed survey has been carried out in arsenic affected ‘Mohinuddin Nagar’ block of the district. Arsenic concentration in ground water has been found above permissible limit (50 ppb) from Dhobaha and Mohana villages. The concentration ranges between BDL and 389 ppb. 2.11.2 Vaishali district.:-The ground water management study was carried out in an area of 2016 km2 in Vaishali district which constitutes a part of the Ganga River Basin. The major part of the district falls under the Burhi-Gandak sumthe district. It joins the river Ganga near Hajipur. A part of the district falls in the tail-end command area of Tirhut Main Canal. The area under the canal command is nearly 450 km2. The irrigation from canal has been carried out in an area of 1558 hectares. The irrigation from tube-wells and other minor irrigation structures is 283 hectares. The average annual rainfall in the district is 1168 mm.

Morphologically it can be classified into three broad categories:- Hazipur Surface, Vaishali Surface & Diara Surface. Quaternary Alluvial deposit consisting of alternate layers of sand, silt, clay, and gravel forms prolific unconfined and confined aquifer system. CGWB exploratory drillings down to depth range of 127 to 300.15 m at Lalganj, Hazipur, and Garoul confirm presence of highly potential and thick sand & gravel layers. The thickness of aquifer tapped at Kohnara ranges from 86 to 248 for a total drilled depth of 300 m, nd at Lalgang ranges from 141 to 220 meter for a total drilled depth of 240 m. Due to

The remaining areas in the district show water level in the depth range of 1–2 m bgl. In parts of Madhubani proper, Rajnagar and parts of Jhanjharpur, the depth to ground water level remains within 1 m bgl in post-monsoon period. The annual water level fluctuation between pre- and post-monsoon period is maximum (2 – 3 m) in parts of Ladania, Khutauna, Phulparas Jhanjharpur, Pandaul and Babubarhi. In the remaining areas it is 1 – 2 m. In Madhubani and Jaynagar a low fluctuation of 1 m has been observed. 2.12 Jharkhand

2.12.1 Kodarma district:- Ground water management study was carried out in Koderma district, Jharkhand, covering an area of 1770 Km2. The objective of the study was to delineate low ground water development in the area. River Barakar and its tributaries control the drainage of the area. The area is underlain by wide range of geological formations ranging from Archaean to Recent mainly consisting of phyllites, mica-schist, Granite-gneiss and other basic and metabaic intrusive. Along the course of the major rivers alluvium of limited thickness are also found. A total of 47 key wells were inventoried. The depth to water level was found to vary between 5 to 12m during pre-monsoon whereas it varies from 1 to 3m during post-monsoon. A total of 86 water samples were collected from the study area during the pre-monsoon period. The analytical results have shown that all the major paexcept Fluoride are within the permissible limit set for drinking and domestic uses. Fluoride concentration above permissible limit has been found from samples of Koderma and Satgawan blocks of the district. The maximum concentration of fluoride has been found as 5.53 ppm. 62 samples were analysed for As, Fe and Mn. The averege stage of ground water development of Koderma district is 12.49% with maximum stage of development as 38.9 % in Jaynagar block. During post-monsoon water level monitoring, in about 70% of the area, the depth to water level remained between 2 and 3m indicating these areas as prone to water logging. Groundwater development in these areas needs to be steeped up to boost development in agricultural sector. 2 Gpart of Barddhaman, Parts of Dakshin Dinajpur & Malda, Western parts of Bankura, parts of Kochbehar & Jalpaiguri districts of the State. 2.13.1 Western part of Barddhaman district:- Groundwater Management Studies in western parts of Barddhaman district to assess the scope for Ground Water development in water scarce hard roG

An area of 3000 sq.km was covered and a detailed study over an area of 600 sqpNagrakata, Metelli & Dhupguri blocks of Jalpaiguri district were carried out. The study was conducted through inventory of key observation wells, collected water samples from dugwells & tube wells. 2.13.4.1 Findings In the special study area cRiver’ has a problem of drying up of ground water within 3 to 4 days after rain fall and a sharp decline of ground water level is observed immediately after monsoon since the rain water infiltrates quickly into the ground and percolates deeply into ground water and finally discharges at the river bed making the river an effluent one. This is due to porous sandy formation which prevents retention of water in the cultivable land. The paddy cultivation mainly has become very difficult in that stretch.

2.13.4.2 Based on the study the following recommendations have been suggested:

• Conjunctive use of river water and ground water. • Installation of small to medium capacity RLI schemes along the perennial portion

of river to irrigate river side land. • Clusters of shallow tube wells may be constructed on either side of the river

(about 1 km. away from the bank), to prevent dewatering of surrounding paddy field. Clusters of medium duty tube wells may be constructed in an area little away from the river bank for increasing the inland irrigated area.

• On both side of Saltia River and parallel to the river course, sub-surface check am of required length may be constructed to obstruct the base flow.

cand patches of epidiorite and amphibolites belonging to the Precambrian age. The ground water is stored mainly in the secondary porosities resulting from weathering and fracturing of rocks. The weathered residuum forms the potential ground water reservoir and is the source of ground water circulation through the fractured zones. The inter connected open joints and fractures in the underlaying hard rocks facilitates circulation of ground water and form deeper aquifers. It is observed that two to three water bearing zones occur within 100 m depth, however water bearing fractures are also encountered down to a depth of 200m. Water-bearing properties of major lothological unitsfollows for consolidated rocks. Granite anddare well foliated and jointed and generally have a thick weathered zone. The depth of the open wells varies from 5.00m to 18.50 metres below ground level. The depth to water levels during the pre monsoon varies from 4.00m to `12.50 m below the ground level. The weathered and fractured granites and granite gneisses form the most productive aquifers in the terrain. The maximum yield of the bore wells ranges up to 7 lps. M6.00 to 11.00m and depth to water levels varies from 4.89 to 10.65m during the pre monsoon period. The recorded yield of the bore well is around 3.00 lps and open wells 2 to 3.5 lps. Quartzite: The quartzite occurs mainly as bands and are resisting to weathering. These rocks have very thin weathered mantle and devoid of joints and other fissile planes. These rocks have very poor potential for ground water development except when fractured and fissured. The depth of the open wells varies from 5.00 to 11.50 and the depth to water levels during the pre monsoon period varies from 3.07 to 8.70 metres below ground level. The yield of the open well is generally less than 2 lps.

s : The laterites and alluvium of sub recent age constitute the unconsolidated formations. The laterites which occur in patches as capping

over the older formation are usually porous in nature and form very good shallow aquifers, developed through open wells. The alluvium occurs as small discontinuous patches along river courses of Brahmani and its tributaries forming flood plains deposits ranging in thickness from 10 to 15 m. The alluvium forms shallow aquifers to be eveloped through dug wells. The yield of the open well is generally 5-6lps.

schemes have been taken up by Central and State govt. agencies including NGOs to improve the ground water condition in the area. Based on the study the following recommendations are given for ground water management in the area:

• The recharge and draft from ground water is to be balanced by proper crop selection and adoption of Modern irrigation practices.

• The tanks should have recharge structures like shaft or properly designed tubewells to connect the main aquifer with harvested rain water to maximise the benefit.

• Flood water should be diverted to Crystalline and Sedimentary contact zone for artificial recharge through a system of tank-canal-sgroundwater potential of deeper aquifers.

indings: The following are the findings of the study:- • In the Sasthamcottah block water scarcity is observed during the summer season

especially along areas where indiscriminate sand mining is taking place. Most of the wells in the adjoining area go dry during summer.

• The dug wells located around the T.S. Canal and the Vatta Kayal in Chavara block show high EC, pH values. Also other inorganic constituents are on the higher side. The area also shows environmental problems attributed due the effluents released from the KMML factory. The tube wells constructed in this area tapping the Vaikom aquifer have very high discharge.

• Pozhikara area in Paravoor municipality also shows quality deterioration due to the construction of the tidal regulator built for the purpose of arresting sea water ingress into the lake and paddy fields of Ithikkara Ela. The fresh water laterite aquifer became saline due to sea water ingress. The chloride and sodium concentration is exceeding the permissible limits in the water samples collected from the area.

• In the general shallow and deep bore wells are success in most of the hard rock area in the district.

• In general the quality of surface and groundwater is good except in the vicinity of seacoast, backwater areas and the industrial area.

• The suitable structures are roof top rainwater harvesting, gully plugs, percolation tanks, check dams and sub-surface dyke. CGWB has constructed a subsurface dyke at Sadanandapuram during the year 1998.

• More such schemes can be implemented in areas facing acute water scarcity. The topography of Kollam district in general is suited for construction of various recharge structures like percolation tanks, check dams, contour bunding, trenching, pitting and terrace cultivation. Moreover microwater supply schemes may be undertaken using suitable groundwater abstraction structures.

3.11.2 Highlights of Ground Water Exploration

Darjeeling & Jalpaiguri district:- In the bouldery formation in and around Binnaguri in Jalpaiguri district and Bengdubi in Darjeeling district, potential aquifers ranging in thickness from 14 -22 m encountered within the depth span of 55-125 mbgl against the drilled depth of 150 mbgl. Suitable tube wells were constructed tapping those aquifers, and yield ranges from 10 to 20 lpEthat the aquifers contain gravel, pebble and sand of various grades down to about 180 mbgl, having non-uniform potentiality due to the geomorphological set up of the area with steep hydraulic gradient. Hence, ground water development in this recharge area may beinhence during construction of the tube well, housing of the tube well may be provided accordingly. North 24 Pargana:- Groundwater exploration was taken up in parts of Deganga block to know the occurrence, extension & potentiality of deeper aquifers (free from arsenic). The present exploration reveals that two aquifer systems have been identified i) within 85 mbgl & ii) between 130 - 160 mbgl. The upper aquifer is in general contaminated with arsenic and is the most developing aquifer for irrigational use (where discharge is 35-61 m3/hr). The 2nd aquifer, separated from the upper aquifer by a thick regionally extensive clay layer, is arsenic free and regionally extensive and capable of yielding 80 - 130mThe 2 aquifer may be tapped with cement sealing against the cltwo aquifers.

8. GROUND WATER LEVEL SCENARIO

.1 INTRODUCTION:

onitoring of ground water regime is an effort to obtain information on ground water levels and chemical quality through representative sampling. The primary objective of stablishing the ground water monitoring network stations is to record the response of round regime to the natural and anthropogenic stresses of recharge and discharge

ology, climate, physiography, land use pattern and ydrologic characteristics. The natural conditions affecting the regime involve climatic arameters like rainfall, evapotranspiration etc., whereas anthropogenic influences

nitored. Ground water samples are collected from these bservation wells once a year during the month of April/ May to obtain background

ality changes on regional scale. The database thus enerated forms the basis for planning the ground water development and management

Ground water levels are being measured four times a year during January, April/ May, August and November. The regime monitoring started in the year 1969 by Central Ground Water Board . At present a network of 15640 observation wells located all over the country is being mooinformation of ground water qugprogramme. The ground water level and quality monitoring is of particular importanc

sta as well inland saline environment to assess the changes in salt water/fresh water ce as also the gradual quality changes in the fresh ground water regime. This data for assessment of

Central Ground Water Board has 16 well-equipped Regional Chemical Laboratories to carry out chemical analysis of major and minor inorganic constituents in water samples. All the Chemical Laboratories are well equip ed to carry out Basic analysis & Heavy and Toxic elements determinations using soph ticated instruments like Digital PC based Spectrophotometer, Flame Photometer, pH meter, Conductivity meter, Ion meter, Nephelometer and Atomic Absorption S eter (AAS). Laboratories are provided with Electronic Monopan and Top Loading Balances, Deionizer, Double Distillation Plant, Hot Air Oven, Water Bath, Magnetic Stirrers and hot plates. Four Regional Laboratories at Kolkata, Hyderabad, Lucknow and Raipur are also equipped with Gas Chromatograph (GC) to undertake the analysis of organic pollutants (Pesticides) at µg/l level and Chemical Laboratory at Hyderabad is additionally equipped with Inductive Coupled Plasma Spectrometer (ICPS) to undertake sequential analysis of the multiple toxic elements with high accuracy. The Laboratory at Kolkata also has Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzer. Some laboratories are equipped with equipment to carry out biological and bacteriological analysis. The chemical data generated by these laboratories is utilized for monitoring and evaluating th nd water quality in compliance with National Standards for designated use to study the impact of anthropogenic activities on ground water quality to demarcate critical reas where water quality deterioration has been observed & areas vulnerable to quality deterioration and to assess point and non-point sources of ground water pollution for taking necessary action for management of ground water resources.

uring 20 sic, 643 e Heavy metals such as As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, n nic analysis. In addition to analytical

work, chemists from various Laboratories have participated in mass awareness rogramme and Trade fairs and have prepared posters, handouts and diagrams on water

quality for display. They have demonstrated the testing of various chemical parameters present in water and their impact on human body. The importance of water quality in artificial recharge to ground water through rain water harvesting and water quality for drinking, agricultural and industrial purposes have also been explained to progressive farmers, visitors and students.

12. HYDROLOGY PROJECT PHASE –II The Hydrology Project - Phase –II (HP-II) is a follow up project of HP-I. Its major thrust is to use Hydrological Information System (HIS) data effectively and efficiently for water resources planning and management. A longer-term aim of the project is to assist the Governments at both Central and State levels to address the issues of intra-sectoral demands and overall resource planning and management through the establishment of core hydrological organizations serving all specialized water agencies.

The Project will further extend and promote the sustained and effective use of the HIS by all potential users concerned with water resources planning and management, including both public and private, thereby contributing to improved productivity and cost-effectiveness of water-related investments in the 13 states and eight Central agencies. The coverage of existing states under the project is to help these agencies from moving over from development of HIS (as in HP-I) towards use of HIS in water resources planning and management. The project objectives will be achieved by: (a) Strengthening the capacity of hydrology departments to develop and sustain

the use of the HIS for hydrological designs and decision tools thus creating enabling environment for improved integrated water resources planning and management;

(b) Improving the capabilities of implementing agencies at state/central level in using HIS for efficient water resource planning and management in reducing v ion o

(c) Establishing and e esponsive and easily accessible HIS to improve shared vision and transparency of HIS between all users; and

(d) Improv ganizations and the private sector thro supporting outreach services.

Greater use impact on the planning a the rural and urban poor will have secure and sustainable access to water for multi-purpose livelihood uses. CGWB is participating agency in HP-II and has a budget provision of Rs 27.8 Crores and project has duration of 6 years staring from May 2006 to 2012. The revised provision for the year 2007-08 is Rs 2.05 Crores. H-P-II has two major components i.e Horizontal Expansion in three new States covering Goa, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab and Vertical Extension in the 9HP-I peninsular States. Under Horizontal Expansion, HP-I type of activities and facilities will be extended to new states, however, under Vertical Extension special knowledge enhancement type of activities such as Hydrological Design Aid, Decision Support System and Purpose Driven Studies would be taken up. In this year of the project domain specific training would be imparted, Awareness raising program are being held, tender documents for procurement/upgrading of the equipments have been prepared and construction of the piezometers is being taken up. Tender document for procurement of consultancy is being taken up. The expenditure incurred on the project till March, 2008 is Rs 114.10 lakhs.

13. STUDIES ON ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE OF GROUND WATER 13.1 DEMONSTRATIVE PROJECTS ON "ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE TO GROUND

WATER & RAIN WATER HARVESTING"

A demonstrative scheme on “Rain Water Harvesting and Artificial Recharge to Ground Water” for 2006-08 has been taken up. These schemes are being implemented in the following areas.

i. Lingala, Pulivendula Vemula and Vemalli blocks in Kadapa district, Andhra

Pradesh. ii. Gangavalli block in Salem district, Tamil Nadu iii. Mallur block in Kolar district, Karnataka iv. Bel watershed, Amla & Multai blocks in Betul District, Madhya Pradesh. v. Upper reaches of Chhoti Kali Sindh river in parts of Sonkatch & Bagli blocks in

Dewas district, Madhya Pradesh.

Under the scheme, recharge schemes in over-exploited assessment units were approved for implementation by the respective state departments under the overall technical guidance of CGWB with 100% funding by the Government of India. The approved cost of construction of recharge structures in cluster mode is Rs. 5.95 Crores. The norms adopted in implementation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) by the Ministry of Rural Development are bein lowed in implementation of civil works under the present scheme The details of demonstrative recharge projects on Artificial Recharge to Ground Water and Rain Water Harvesting being implemented in the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are given in Table 13.1. Impact assessment studies are also incorporated to assess the efficacy of artificial recharge and rain water harvesting structures taken as in cluster mode in the above mentioned sites. Success of demonstrative recharge projects completed in different hydrogeological conditions would encourage the states to replicate the same in the similar hydrogeological settings elsewhere in the states. 122 artificial recharge structures have been completed during the year and total 160 artificial recharge structures have been completed against the project target of 200 structures.

13.2 "ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE TO GROUND WATER & RAIN WATER HARVESTING" UNDER SURVEYS, EXPLORATION & INVESTIGATION SCHEME OF CGWB

Demonstrative projects on Artificial Recharge to Ground Water and Rain Water Harvesting are proposed to be taken up during XI Plan under central sector scheme of “ Ground water Management Regulation “by CGWB, at an estimated cost of Rs.100 Crores with 100% funding by the Central Government. Under the scheme, it is proposed to construct structures for artificial recharge and rainwater harvesting through implementing agencies / beneficiaries and Panchayats. The scheme will demonstrate the efficacy of artificial recharge and rain water harvesting techniques in identified areas selected on scientific basis in different hydrogeological situations and encourage implementing agencies to replicate successful models in similar set ups. It will result in capacity building of the various agencies involved in

ctures

Central Ground Water Board, in coordination with concerned State Government departments will take up recharge and rain water-harvesting projects in following areas on priority:

i. Over-exploited / Critical Blocks ii. Urban areas showing steep decline in ground water levels iii. Drought prone & water scarcity area iv. Coastal areas v. Sub-mountainous / hilly areas vi. Area with geo-genic contamination of ground water.

Sites for construction of feasible artificial recharge structures would be identified by taking into consideration Watersheds / Talukas / Block / Mandal on compact area basis. Computation of surplus runoff and hydrogeological conditions need to satisfy the pre-requisites for recharge projects. The implementing agency would be responsible for preparation of Detailed Project Report for the recharge projects and may take technical guidance from regional office of CGWB.

14. MATHEMATICAL MODELLING STUDIES A model is any device that represents an approximation of a field situation. A ground water model can be defined as a simplified version of a real ground water system. Ground Water simulation models provide a platform to study that problems in broader perspective and resolve solution for the optimal benefit taking into considerations the simplest and complex aspects along with economic, social and environmental aspects. The Central Ground Water Board has undertaken two studies in Ranchi and Patna urban area on ground water modeling during the year. Mathematical modeling have been taken up in Madaram watershed for creating the data base for simulation of mathematical model and Kottukal thodu water shed of Neyyar basin for groundwater flow and the impact of various stresses on the flow regime. Concept note has been prepared for comprehensive modeling studies in Yamuna Flood Plain Delhi in progress. The brief finding of the study are described in the following paragraphs: 14.1 Ranchi Urban Area: Under Ground water modeling study of Ranchi Urban area

30 key wells were established and monthly water level has been monitored. Ten piezometers were also monitored on monthly basis. Depth to water level in the key wells during pre-monsoon period ranges from 2.1 to 12.3 m and during post-monsoon it ranges from 0.9m to 5.03 m where as in case of piezometers during pre-monsoon it ranges from 1.56 to 14.9 m and 1.54 to 12.63 m during post-monsoon. Study is continuing in AAP 2008-09.

condition in the und oundwater level in the area varies from 1.17m to 8.32m bgl oon period and 0.26m to 5.08m bgl in the post monsoon period. Study is continuing in AAP 2008-09

14.3 Madaram watershed : During the year, Madaram watershed has been taken up

for creating the data base for simulati n of mathematical model. Under the study, 11 key wells were established and water level monitored on monthly basis. Village-wise ground water resources were estimated based on GEC 1997. Tentative sites for selected for ground water exploration for computation of various hydraulic parameters. Sites were also identified for carrying out the geophysical survey to delineate the depth of weathering.

14.4 Kottukal thodu water shed of Neyyar basin: The Kottukal thodu watershed of

Neyyar basin is being modeled for groundwater flow and the impact of various stresses on the flow regime. It is a s all watershed of about 35 sq.km. comprising Precambrian crystallines, Tertiary se iments and coastal alluvium. An aquifer continuity is observed in the phreatic aquifer and the same is being modelled in the present study. As part of the study detailed field work is being carried and established key wells for water level monitoring, collected data on lithology of well sections, rainfall, groundwater structures, groundwater draft, soil etc. The infiltration characteristics and aquifer characteristics are to be identified in the ensuing studies.

nt in the National Ground Water Congress .

Prof. Saifuddin Soz, Hon’ble Minister of Water Resources in his welcome address said that the objective of the Congress is to facilitate sharing of information, knowledge dissemination and also stressed the need for sustainable development of ground water. He spoke on National Water Award and Bhoomijal Samvardhan Puraskar instituted by Ministry of Water Resources to recognize the grass root organizations for successfully demonstrating the best water conservation practices. He also categorically emphasized that conservation of ground water is in sharp focus of the Ministry of Water Resources and mission of sustained ground water can be accomplished through association and involvement of various Stakeholders. He was confident that the Congress will create conditions of complete synergies of all organizations and stakeholders in addressing the critical issues.

Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, Eminent Scientist and Hon’ble Member of Parliament in his address congratulated the Ministry of Water Resources for organizing National Ground Water Congress- 2007 and said that the Congress will help to elevate the sustainable management of our ground water resources to a national ethic which should evolve concurrent attention to conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits of ground water. He spoke on implementation of 5000 field action programmes involving various expertise at different location under the ambit of “More Income Per Drop of Water” mission. He suggested to restructure the cropping pattern of flood prone areas by citing some glaring examples of crop varieties.

Dr. Manmohan Singh, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India in his inaugural address

at the National Congress on Ground Water 2007 said that it is now widely recognized that water, especially potable water is finite and a vulnerable resource. There is also a wide consensus that water development and management should be based on a participatory approach, involving all stakeholders. He opined that, we cannot continue to subsidize the economic and commercial use of water. There are related policies that must also be corrected to ensure adequate emphasis on water conservation, especially ground water. For example, providing free power to farmers has encouraged excessive use of pump sets and excessive drawing of ground water. If there is economic pricing of power, there would be some incentive for conserving ground water. Water conservation and management an be better served through appropriate incentives and penalties. He appealed to ea efforts
