1. HYDROGEOLOGICAL SETUP OF THE COUNTRY

1.1 GROUND WATER OCCURRENCE

The ground water behavior in the Indian sub-continent is highly complicated due to the occurrence of diversified geological formations with considerable lithological and chronological variations, complex tectonic framework, climatological dissimilarities and various hydrochemical conditions. Studies carried out over the years have revealed that aquifer groups in alluvial / soft rocks even transcend the surface basin boundaries. Broadly two groups of rock formations have been identified depending on characteristically different hydraulics of ground water, Viz. Porous Formations and Fissured Formations.

1.1.1POROUS FORMATION

Porous formations have been further subdivided into Unconsolidated and Semi consolidated formations.

UNCONSOLIDATED FORMATIONS

The areas covered by alluvial sediments of river basins, coastal and deltaic tracts constitute the unconsolidated formations. These are by far the most significant ground water reservoirs for large scale and extensive development. The hydrogeological environment and ground water regime in the Indo-Ganga-Brahmaputra basin indicate the existence of potential aquifers having enormous fresh ground water reserve. Bestowed with high incidence of rainfall and covered by a thick pile of porous sediments, these ground water reservoirs get replenished every year and are being used heavily. In these areas, in addition to the Annual Replenishable Ground Water Resources available in the zone of water level fluctuation (Dynamic Ground Water Resource), there exists a huge ground water reserve in the deeper passive recharge zone below the zone of fluctuation as well as in the deeper confined aquifers which remains largely unexplored as yet. Although the mode of development of ground water is primarily through dug wells, dug cum bore well and cavity wells, thousands of tube wells have been constructed during last few decades.

SEMI-CONSOLIDATED FORMATIONS

The semi-consolidated formations normally occur in narrow valleys or structurally faulted basins. The Gondwanas, Lathis, Tipams, Cuddalore sandstones and their equivalents are the most extensive productive aquifers in this category. Under favorable situations, these formations give rise to free flowing wells. In selected tracts of northeastern India, these water-bearing formations are quite productive. The Upper Gondwanas, which are generally arenaceous, in general, constitute prolific aquifers.

1.1.2 FISSURED FORMATIONS (CONSOLIDATED FORMATIONS)

The consolidated formations occupy almost two-thirds of the country. These formations, except vesicular volcanic rocks have negligible primary porosity. From the hydrogeological point of view, fissured rocks are broadly classified into four types viz. Igneous and metamorphic rocks excluding volcanic and carbonate rocks, volcanic rocks, consolidated sedimentary rocks and Carbonate rocks.

2

IGNEOUS AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS EXCLUDING VOLCANIC AND CARBONATE ROCKS

The most common rock types under this category are granites, gneisses, charnockites, khondalites, quartzites, schists and associated phyllites, slates, etc. These rocks possess negligible primary porosity but attain porosity and permeability due to fracturing and weathering. Ground water yield also depends on the rock type and grade of metamorphism. Generally, the granites, Khondalites and biotite gneisses have better yield potential as compared to charnockites.

VOLCANIC ROCKS

The predominant types of volcanic rocks are the basaltic lava flows of Deccan Plateau. The highly variable water bearing properties of different flow units control ground water occurrence in Deccan Traps. The Deccan Traps have usually poor to moderate permeability depending on the presence of primary and secondary fractures.

CONSOLIDATED SEDIMENTARY ROCKS EXCLUDING CARBONATE ROCKS

Consolidated sedimentary rocks occur in Cuddapahs, Vindhyans and their equivalents. The formations consist of conglomerates, sandstones, shales. The presence of bedding planes, joints, contact zones and fractures controls the ground water occurrence, movement and yield potential.

CARBONATE ROCKS

Limestones in the Cuddapah, Vindhyan and Bijawar group of rocks dominates the carbonate rocks other than marbles and dolomites. In carbonate rocks, the circulation of water creates solution cavities thereby increasing the permeability of the aquifers. The solution activity leads to widely contrasting permeabilities within short distances.

1.2 HYDROGEOLOGICAL UNITS AND THEIR GROUND WATER POTENTIAL

Hydrogeological map of India is depicted in Plate-I and the geographical distribution of hydrogeological units along with their Ground water potential is given in Table 1.

2.0 GROUND WATER LEVEL SCENARIO

2.1 INTRODUCTION

Monitoring of ground water regime is an effort to obtain information on ground water levels and

chemical quality through representative sampling. The important attributes of ground water regime

monitoring are ground water level, ground water quality and temperature. The primary objective of

establishing the ground water monitoring network stations is to record the response of ground

regime to the natural and anthropogenic stresses of recharge and discharge parameters with

reference to geology, climate, physiography, land use pattern and hydrologic characteristics. The

natural conditions affecting the regime involve climatic parameters like rainfall, evapotranspiration

etc., whereas anthropogenic influences include pumpage from the aquifer, recharge due to

irrigation systems and other practices like waste disposal etc.

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 15653 observation wells located all over the country is being monitored.

Ground water samples are collected from these observation wells once a year during the month of

April/ May to obtain background information of ground water quality changes on regional scale.

The database thus generated forms the basis for planning the ground water development and

management programme. The ground water level and quality monitoring is of particular

importance in coastal as well inland saline environment to assess the changes in salt water/fresh

water interface as also the gradual quality changes in the fresh ground water regime. This data is

used for assessment of ground water resources and changes in the regime consequent to various

development and management activities.

The State-wise distribution of the ground water observation wells is given in table- 2 and depicted

in Plate II.

2.6 RAINFALL VARIATIONS

Rain gauge stations are established and maintained by different departments and Undertakings of

Central and State governments and also by private parties to cater their particular data need.

India Meteorological Department (IMD) has 559 observatories (both departmental and part time)

while amongst non-Departmental Rain gauge Stations, 3540 are reporting and 5039 are non-

reporting.

Though the period of seasons varies from place to place, for Climatological purposes especially

for rainfall, year at all the places is uniformly divided into 4 parts, called seasons. The seasons

are: Winter (January and February), Pre monsoon (March to May), South West Monsoon (June to

September) and Post Monsoon season (October to December).

For the purpose of compiling the rainfall data and draw the inferences India is divided into 36

meteorological homogeneous regions.

The long term average rainfall indicates that most part of India receives rainfall mainly during SW

Monsoon season. However main Rainfall season in Tamil Nadu is Post Monsoon season. Jammu

and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand receive significant rainfall in all 4 seasons.

The actual season (June to September) rain fall over the country as a whole and four broad

geographical regions during the 2012 SW monsoon season are given in the table below along

with respective long period average (LPA) values. The rain fall during the 4 monsoon months and

second of the monsoon season (August + September) over the country as a whole are given as

below:-

Season (June to September) rain fall

As seen in the table above the season rainfall over the country as a whole and four geographical regions of country were less than the respective LPAs. Month wise the rainfall during the first two months (June and July) was below its LPA values. However, monthly rainfall for August and September as well as total rainfall during the second half monsoon season was higher than its LPA values.

3.0 GROUND WATER RESOURCE AVAILABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT STATUS

3.1 DYNAMIC FRESH GROUND WATER RESOURCE

The dynamic ground water resources of the States and Union Territories have been assessed

jointly by the CGWB and State Ground Water Departments under the supervision of the State

level Committees. The base year of computation of the resources is 2008-09. The ground water

resources in some of the north eastern states viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram,

Nagaland and Tripura have been estimated by CGWB in absence of active participation of State

Govt. The ground water assessment figures computed at the State Level are presented in the

following compilation.

The dynamic ground water resources are also known as Annual Replenishable Ground Water

Resources since it replenished/ recharged every year. The Annual Replenishable Ground Water

Resource for the entire country has been assessed as 431 billion cubic meter (bcm). The major

source of ground water recharge is the monsoon rainfall. About 57% of the annual replenishable

resources i.e. 246 bcm are contributed by monsoon rainfall recharge. The overall contribution of

rainfall to countrys Annual Replenishable Ground Water Resource is 68% and the share of other

sources viz. canal seepage, return flow from irrigation, recharge from tanks, ponds, and water

conservations structures taken together is 32%. State-wise Ground Water Resources of India as

on March, 2009 is given in Annexure I and the district-wise figures are given in Annexure - II.

Plate X presents the over-all scenario of ground water resource utilization and availability of the

country. The contribution from other sources such as canal seepage , return flow from irrigation,

seepage from water bodies etc in Annual Replenishable Ground Water Resource is more than of

33% in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir,

Karnataka, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and UT of Puducherry (Plate XI). South-west

monsoon being the most prevalent contributor of rainfall in the country, about 73% of countrys

Annual Ground Water Recharge takes place during the Kharif period of cultivation. Keeping 35

bcm for natural discharge, the Net Annual Ground Water Availability for the entire country is 396

bcm.

The spatial variation in annual replenishable ground water resources is presented in Plate XII.

Volumetric estimates are dependent on the areal extent of the assessment unit. Thus, relative

comparison of ground water resource of different assessment units based on volumetric

estimates is not possible. Hence volumetric estimates of annual replenishable ground water

resources have been divided by the area of the assessment unit to arrive at estimates per unit

area (in meter). Replenishable Groundwater resource is significantly high in the IndusGanga

41

Bramhputra alluvial belt in the North, East and North East India covering the states of Punjab,

Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and valley areas of North Eastern States, where

rainfall is plenty and thick piles of unconsolidated alluvial formations are conducive for recharge.

Annual Replenishable Ground Water Resource in these regions varies from 0.25 to more than 0.5

m. The coastal alluvial belt particularly Eastern Coast also has relatively high replenishable

ground water resources, in the range 0.25 to more than 0.5 m. In western India, particularly

Rajasthan and parts of northern Gujarat which have arid climate, the annual replenishable ground

water resources are scanty, mostly up to 0.025 m. Similarly, in major parts of the southern

peninsular India covered with hard rock terrains, annual replenishable ground water recharge is

less, only up to 0.10 m. This is primarily because of comparatively low infiltration and storage

capacity of the rock formations prevailing in the region. The remaining part of Central India is

mostly characterized by moderate recharge in the range of 0.100.25 m.

The overall estimate of annual replenishable ground water resources of the entire country shows

a marginal decrease in the present estimate as compared to the 2004 by about 2 bcm. However

there are significant variations in the recharge estimates of some of the States as indicated in

Section 5.5. The main reasons for this can be attributed to changing ground water regime,

widespread implementation of rainwater harvesting and water conservation measures, changes in

rainfall pattern, adoption of revised values of parameters like Specific Yield which were estimated

based on subsequent field studies and availability of improved database which helped in

refinements in assessment and assessment in additional areas which were not estimated in the

2004 exercise.

3.2 STAGE OF GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT

The stage of ground water development in the country is 61%. The status of ground water

development is very high in the states of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan, where the Stage

of Ground Water Development is more than 100%, which implies that in the states the annual

ground water consumption is more than annual ground water recharge. In the states of Gujarat,

Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh and UTs of and UT of Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep and

Puducherry, the stage of ground water development is 70% and above. In rest of the states / UTs

the stage of ground water development is below 70%. The ground water development activities

have increased generally in the areas where future scope for ground water development existed.

This has resulted in increase in stage of ground water development from 58% (2004) to 61%

(2009).

42

3.3 CATEGORIZATION OF ASSESSMENT UNITS

Out of 5842 numbers of assessed administrative units (Blocks/ Taluks/ Mandals/ Districts), 802

units are Over-exploited, 169 units are Critical, 523 units are Semi-critical, and 4277 units are

Safe. Apart from these, there are 71 assessment units which are completely Saline (Annexure

III). Number of Over-exploited and Critical administrative units are significantly higher (more than

15% of the total assessed units) in Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka,

Punjab, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu and also the UTs of Daman & Diu and Puducherry (Plate XIV).
