BetaBetaDataset
To estimate all groundwater resources in India.
The assessment units (blocks/taluks/mandals/tehsil/firkas etc.) are categorized based on the Stage of Extraction (SoE) i.e ‘Safe’ if SoE < 70 %; ‘Semi-critical if SoE> 70 and <= 90 %; ‘Critical’ if SoE>90 and <=100 % and ‘Over-exploited’ if SoE> 100 %.
Dataset contains administrative boundaries, state boundary, assessed groundwater resources, state level (in BCM), net annual groundwater availability, total annual groundwater draft, annual groundwater draft irrigation
Assessment of ‘Dynamic Ground Water Resources of India’ is carried out at periodical intervals jointly by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and State/UT Ground Water Departments under the guidance of State Level Committee at State levels and under the overall supervision of Central Level Expert Group.
