BACKGROUND:
Groundwater
is great hidden component of the hydrological cycle comprising the most
important natural resource of our planet. The history of ground water
utilization goes as far back as the history of mankind itself. But the
stupendous growth of population, agriculture and industry has compelled
an indiscriminate exploitation of this resource. Utmost care has, therefore,
to be exercised in the management of this precious resource.
(1) Ground Water Development Projects have not
been taken up hither/to in this country on such a massive scale as is
being presently done. To enable a proper and planned development
and to render these Ground Water developmental projects successful,
in as large a measure as possible the Ministry of Food and Agriculture,
Government of India have been pressing the State Governments to establish
Ground Water Organisations, which will be capable of conducting the
required investigations for determining the potentiality of the various
areas, which in turn will depend on the respective areas themselves
and on the individual as well as the combined effect of the various
natural causes and forces acting in those areas(copy of guidelines Issued
by the Govt. of India., Ministry of Food And Agriculture is enclosed
vide appendix-I).
(2) The part played by natural phenomena like the
geology of the area, topography, climatology , Hydrology(surface Water
and Ground Water) , land use etc. and the occurrence, movement and quality
of Ground Water available in any area and the nature of investigations
undertaken are all briefly explained in Appendix II
(B).
INTRODUCTION:
(1) A large part of the state lies in what
is called the “Hard Rock” Area. Here the rocks lying concealed
below the soils which are seen at the surface are very hard and compact
i.e. with no pores in the rock bodies,water is contained in the
weathered zone of these rocks i.e. in the soil mass and in the fractured
and fissured zones below. Thus the water contained below is limited
(a) to the thickness of this weathering and (b) the degree i.e intensity
of fracture, both of which required to be determined for the area. Free
flow of Ground water in these layers are affected by the dips of the
rocks and even arrested by the presence of dykes, intrusions etc,
(2) It is also common knowledge that the
quantity of Ground Water available is influenced largely by the direct
infiltration from rainfall, streams, lakes etc. present in that area.
In addition to the above contributory factors owing to movement of Ground
Hater, certain quantity of ground water enters any particular area from
the surrounding areas and likewise drains out from the area also i.e.
flows out of the area into lower geological horizons, The
aim of the investigations/studies are directed towards determining the
Quantity of water contributed to any area by factors like infiltration
from rain, seepage from rivers, canals, lakes, irrigated lands, etc
of the quantity of subsoil water contributed to the particular area
by adjoining areas and also that draining out from, the area under investigation.
(3) In addition to the above, aspects requiring
study, it is essential to know the extent and degree of present utilisation
of Ground Water in the areasunder consideration for Ground Water Development,
to know if a saturation point has been reached or is likelyto be reached
it is well known that in parts of our/state decline of water levels
has been occurring in the wells due to a large scale and unrestricted
development of the limited Ground Water resourcesofthat area. Corrective
measures may be possible sometimes but will be expensive generally.
A fairly correct data on the well population in the area and information
on the number of mhotes or those operated by power, the total number
of hours used,the type-and extent of crops grown each season is required
to compute with some accuracy the amount of present utilisation of the
available Ground Water resources of the area.
(4) Every one knows that on a hot day, the heat
and the wind dries up the soil fast and more water is required,whereas
on a cloud, humid, day it is not so. Thus, theWater losses are controlled
by these climatic factors.Large extents of our State lie in the Semi-Arid
Zone and the others in the humid zones. Water losses occur due to evaporation
from surface water bodies and transpiration of the plants, which is
considerable and for utilisation of the limited Ground Water resources,
it is the international practice to determine these losses due to Evaporation
and Transpiration “both for crop planning, and also for knowing the
quantity that will be lost when applied on the field. It will be seen
that if the loss is heavy in a particular area, it has to be made up
from the available and limited Ground water resources to prevent the
crop withering and much more so if optimum yields are to be got.
(5) As has been explained in the paras above,
minimal investigations of the geology of the area, aimed at determining
the quantum (Q) of water bearing stratum lying concealed below the Ground
Level and of the water contained therein and how the geology controls
and affects the occurrence and movement of Ground Water should be done.
Next the net contribution to the Ground Water reservoir by factors like
infiltration (I) from rain, seepage from surface water bodies, and by
basal inflows and outflows have to be determined. The present draft
i.e. level of utilisation(U)has to be also ascertained. The losses (L)
occurring due to evaporation and transpiration, too will need to be
found out. The investigations are directed towards finding these absolutely
essential and minimal data for the various areas taken up for development.
As without ascertaining these essential data, it is not possible to
offer any reasonably correct technical advices it is the standard practice
in all the countries of the world to conduct investigations in this
direction before launching on any large scale Ground Water development.
It will be pertinent to point out in this connection that all these
aspects are gone into in great detail in the several surface storage
projects constructed in the various states of India. Only after these
investigations are over and technical and economic feasibility of the
surface water projects established, the projects are being executed.
A beginning has been in this direction in respect of Ground water development
projects also in this country, though rather belatedly.
(6) As such investigations are time consuming, some
short cut methods for rapidly determining the available Ground Water
resources of an area at least approximately have been developed, depending
on already available even if extremely meagre data relating to that
area or elsewhere. This at best is only an interim arrangement and this
procedure should not be continued as a routine.
(7) Surface water Projects (diversion or storage
projects)have canal systems, which convey the water generally at the
rate of about 0.3 metres/sec(1 foot/sec), to 0.6 metres/sec( 2 feet/Sec
)or about 0.45 metres/sec(1.5 foot/sec, i.e. about 1620 metres/hour(
5400 feet/hour). Thus the quantity of water supplied to the field’s
can be tapped at this rate. But in the case of Ground Water development
projects, the normal rate of Ground Water movement in the formations
below is at the rate of 1.5 metres/year (5 feet/year) to 1.5 metres/day
(5 feet/day). Even taking the general upper limit of 1.5 metres/day
(5 feet/day), this corresponds to about 0.06 metres/hour (1/5th
foot/hour )as compared to 1620 metres/hour (5400 feet/hour) with a surface
canal. Water can not be extracted at a much faster rate, than that at
which nature can replenish it. If this is attempted, the wells will
just dry up.
It
is hence of paramount importance that, each area is studied carefully
and development is gone ahead with cautiously. Without doing so, if
we go in a hurry for too many wells in an area or if the wells are too
closely spaced, it is likely to result in considerable wasteful expenditure,
not only by way of the wells sunk in that area going dry but the
expenditure incurred on other items like land levelling, the various
agricultural operations, construction of transmission and distribution
lines etc. on the presumption of large availability of Ground Water,
are all likely to be infructuous leading also to considerable frustration
among the people. There is thus no ‘Short Cut ‘ and if the development
is to be scientific and economical it is imperative that technical studies
are under taken quickly and in an organized fashion and that scientists
and, technologists are allowed to play their part fully in the country’s
development. It is very necessary that a careful review of our activities
in this direction is done and steps also taken to ensure quick implementation
of such decisions once taken. Sufficient authority for decision making
at various levels without too much concentration of authority and decision
making at one source alone will also be necessary for speedy implementation
of the objectives.
©.National
Water Policy (April, 2002)
Government
of India, Ministry of water Resources in its National
Water Policy (April, 2002) broadly
prioritized water allocation as follows:
- Drinking water
- Irrigation
- Hydro-power
- Ecology
- Agro-industries and non-agricultural
industries
- Navigation and other uses.
It
was emphasized that there should be an integrated and multi disciplinary
approach to the planning, formulation, clearance and implementation
of projects, including catchment area treatment and management, environmental
and ecological aspects, the rehabilitation of affected people and command
area development. The involvement and participation of beneficiaries
and other stakeholders should be encouraged right from the planning
stage itself.
In
respect of Ground Water Development, the National Water Policy stated
as follows:
GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT:
There should be a periodical
reassessment of the ground water potential on a scientific basis, taking
into consideration the quality of the water available and economic viability
of its extraction.
Exploitation of ground water
resources should be so regulated as not to exceed the recharging possibilities,
as also to ensure social equity. The detrimental environmental consequences
of over exploitation of ground water need to be effectively prevented
by the Central and State Governments. Ground water recharge projects
should be developed and implemented for improving both the quality and
availability of ground water resources.
Integrated and co-coordinated
development of surface water and ground water resources and their conjunctive
use, should be envisaged right from the project planning stage and form
an integral part of the project implementation.
Over exploitation of ground
water should be avoided especially near the coast to prevent ingress
of sea water into sweet water aquifers.
IRRIGATION:
Irrigation being the largest
consumer of fresh water, the aim should be to get optimal productivity
per unit of water. Scientific water management, farm practices and sprinkler
and drip system of irrigation should be adopted where ever possible.
Reclamation of water logged/saline
affected land by scientific and cost-effective methods should form part
of command area development programme.
WATER QUALITY:
- Both surface water and ground
water should be regularly monitored for quality. A phased programme
should be under taken for improvements in water quality.
- Effluents should be treated
to acceptable levels and standards before discharging them into natural
streams.
- Minimum flow should be ensured
in the perennial streams for maintaining ecology and social considerations.
- Principle of ‘polluter
pays’ should be followed in management of polluted water.
- Necessary legislation is
to be made for preservation of existing water bodies by preventing encroachment
and deterioration of water quality.
INFORMATION SYSTEM:
- A well developed information
system, for water related data in its entirety, at the national, state
level, is a prime requisite for resource planning. A standardized national
information system should be established with a net work of data banks
and data bases, integrating and strengthening the existing Central and
State level agencies and improving the quality of data and the processing
capabilities.
- Standards for coding, classification,
processing of data and methods/procedures for its collection should
be adopted. Advances in information technology must be introduced to
create a modern information system promoting free exchange of data among
various agencies. Special efforts should be made to develop and continuously
upgrade technological capability to collect process and disseminate
reliable data in the desired time frame.
- Apart from the data regarding
water availability and actual water use, the system should also include
comprehensive and reliable projections of future demands of water for
diverse purposes.

i.e. sinking wells, installation of pump sets etc. being of the order
of about Rs.6.5 crores.
This Department was
also entrusted with the scrutiny of schemes formulated under Rural Electrification
Programme and was called upon to certify, on the ground water availability
in those areas.
(C).
FUTURE PLAN OF ACTION:
In
National Water Policy it was mentioned for effective and economical
management of our water resources, the frontiers of knowledge need to
be pushed forward in several directions by intensifying research efforts
in various aspects in respect of Ground Water Development suggested
the following:
- Hydrometeorology
- Surface and Groundwater Hydrology
- River morphology hydraulics
- Assessment of water resources
- Water harvesting and ground
water recharge
- Water quality
- Water conservation
- Evaporation and seepage losses
- Recycling and reuse
- Better watermanagement practices
and improvements in operation technology
- Crops and cropping systems
- Economic designs of water
resource projects
- Risk analysis and disaster
management
- Use of remote sensing techniques
in development and management
- Use of static ground water
resource as a crisis management measure
- Use of sea water resources
- Prevention of salinity ingress
- Prevention of water logging
and saline lands
- Environmental impact
- Regional equity
Some
of the issues covered include identification of the state-of-the-art
techniques for geohydrological parameter estimation, acquisition of
data, analysis of flow in the unsaturated zone, studies of contaminant
migration and augmentation of ground water. All these are essential
pre-requisites for reliable estimation and rational management of this
vital resource. Cost-effectiveness of these techniques is especially
important for developing countries.
- Geohydrologic
parameter estimation: recent
advances in conventional techniques; use of tracer techniques, Geophysical
methods; stochastic methods; inverse techniques.
b. Groundwater flow
in unsaturated zones: Soil moisture
studies; Recharge estimation; interaction between Ground Water and Surface
water.
d. Management of Ground water
resources particularly in hard rocks:
Parameterization of Groundwater flow regime; modeling of complex aquifers;
simulation of flow in fractured rocks; assessment of dynamic potential
of aquifers.
e. Pollution of aquifers: Groundwater quality monitoring; modeling of
migration of non-reactive / reactive chemicals, radioactive nuclear
waste etc.; remedial measures.
f. Augmentation of water resources: Artificial recharge; Rain Water harvesting;
constraints and limitations.
(D). Functions
and Duties:
Duties
The main duty of the
Department is to address all the issues related to exploring ground
water, its assessment, regime monitoring, augmentation and regulation.
The important duties can further be grouped into following categories:-
Functions:
To perform the duties
as mentioned above and pursue the agendas as laid down in the National
Water Policy, Ground Water Department perform following functions:-
Hydrogeological
Surveys:
Ground Water Department
carries out regional hydrogeological studies which provide information
on ground water occurrence in different terrains. First level Systematic
survey on 1:50,000 scale was completed for the entire state by March,
1991.This has generated basic information on various hydrogeological
parameters. Reappraisal Hydrogeological Surveys are being taken up now
to know the change in ground water regime in respect of occurrence,
availability and utilization at a regular interval. Findings of these
surveys are presented in the form of Systematic and Reappraisal Survey
Reports. These reports are further compiled in the form of District
and State Reports which facilitate scientific planning of ground water
development and management.
Assessment
of Ground Water Resources
Ground water being replenishable
and dynamic in nature, it is essential to conduct periodic assessment
of the resources quantitatively. CGWB has played vital role in preparing
suitable methodology for ground water assessment. The ground water resource
of the country is jointly assessed by APSGWD in close coordination with
the C.G.W.B and other State Government departments related to waters.
The same is periodically updated and published in the form of reports
for dissemination to various user agencies.
Ground Water Exploration
Ground water exploration
aided by drilling is one of the major activities of the Department with
an objective to identify potential aquifers in different hydrogeological
setup and to evaluate. More than 25,000 wells have been drilled by the
Department throughout the state by March 2005. The successful exploratory
wells have been offered to the State Governments for their utilization.
APSGWD also assist the other State Governments for mitigating the drinking
water problems in the drought-affected areas of the state. Findings
of the exploration are published in the form of Basic Data Reports and
Exploration Report. These reports facilitate scientific planning of
ground water development.
Ground Water Regime
Monitoring
The ground water being
dynamic in nature, its response to the natural and artificial condition
of recharge and discharge in the different domains needs to be recorded.
To understand and manage its dynamic behavior Ground Water Monitoring
commenced in 1972 with a few observation wells established by the Ground
Water Department. Gradually, the number of the observation wells, spread
all over the state, increased to about 5,000 as on March 2005. Ground
water levels are being measured six times a year during January, March,
May, July, September and November. In addition to 5,000 observation
wells, 916 piezometers are fitted with Digital Water Level Recorder
(DWLR) to record ground water levels at higher frequency intervals.
This data is used for assessment of ground water resources and changes
in the regime consequent to various development activities. Ground water
samples are collected through these observation wells twice in a year
during the month of May/November to generate information of ground water
quality changes on a regional scale. The findings of the monitoring
work are documented annually in the form of the Ground Water Year Book
for each district.
Feasibility studies
for Artificial Recharge
Schemes on Artificial
Recharge to Ground water have been taken up by APSGWD on pilot basis
under State/Central Sector Scheme. The objective of these schemes was
to demonstrate the feasibility of the different artificial recharge
structures in the various hydrogeological terrains especially in ground
water stress areas. APSGWD has prepared a master plan for artificial
recharge to ground water for different districts.
Short Term Water
Supply Investigation
APSGWD has taken up
short term water supply investigation on request from various Government
agencies. Based on the investigation feasibility report is prepared
and submitted to the concerned department.
Ground
Water Information System
As envisaged in the
National Water Policy, APSGWD has developed a Ground Water Information
system named as Ground Water Estimation and Management System (GEMS)
in collaboration with Central Ground Water Board and other state ground
water organizations under Hydrology project phase-I. The GEMS is GIS
based modular software for data Entry, validation, comprehensive data
processing, statistical analysis, data retrieval, reporting, Graphic/map
Outputs, Data Transfer & Dissemination, Data Security and Backup
facility in respect of Water Level, Water Quality, Hydro meteorological
& Geophysical parameters and Exploratory details.
Ground Water Balance
Study Projects
Apart from the normal
activities, APSGWD has taken up bilateral projects with the assistance
of UNDP, UK, World Bank etc. between 1974 and 2005. APSGWD has carried
out detailed water balance studies through 16 pilot projects and another
16 critical basins covering entire Andhra Pradesh State. The objective
of these projects was to carry out water balance studies and assessment
of ground water potential of the critical basins and pilot projects
in order to develop ground water development technologies. Voluminous
data was generated through such projects and the technology developed
was provided to the other water departments to help them prepare plans
for scientific development and use of ground water resources for various
purposes.
Conjunctive
Use Studies
The feasibility studies
for the conjunctive use of surface and ground water are being conducted
to evolve suitable plan for controlling the problem of water logging
and salinity in the major project canal command areas in order to demonstrate
the optimum ground water and surface water utilization to maximize the
irrigation efficiency.
Research
and Development
The District Magistrates
of the concerned notified areas have been issued directives under section
5 of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 to ensure that no ground water
development is done without prior approval of the Authority. In case
of violations, they have been advised to seal the tube well/seize the
drilling equipments. Abstraction of ground water in these notified areas
for sale and supply has also been banned. APSGWD is according limited
permission for construction of new tube wells/replacement of existing
tube well to Government water supplying agencies, Institutes, and hospitals
to meet their drinking and domestic requirements. In addition to above,
under APWALTA, the Commissioner, Rural development has notified 4005
overexploited villages in the state for registration of ground water
structures for future regulation. The list of these areas is presented
separately
More over-exploited
areas are being identified through micro level studies for registration
of ground water structures. More areas are being identified by APSGWD
for regulation of ground water development and management.
Regulation of ground water withdrawal by industries
Based on field studies
by APSGWD as well as from other sources/news items, the incidence of
ground water pollution are being examined by APSGWD on case to case
basis, and depending upon the merit of the individual cases, specific
directives are being issued to the State Government for taking up suitable
action.
Registration of persons/agencies
engaged in construction of water well
In order to develop
data base on drilling activities being carried out for regulatory measures,
country wide registration of drilling agencies are being undertaken
by APWALTA. Such data base not only provide information on current pace
of ground water development scenario but also decipher micro level site
specific information on ground water availability and technology advancement
for development of the same. As regulatory measures the drilling agencies
have been prohibited to take up the work of construction of water well
in the notified areas. They are also required to submit the details
of drilling undertaken by them within one month of water wells.
Proactive approaches:
Rain water harvesting
is an activity to facilitate ground water recharge especially in ground
water stressed areas, and public participation is essential for promotion
of this activity. Identifying inevitable need for rain water harvesting
country wide mass awareness programme and training programme on the
same are organized by APSGWD and HMWS&SB on regular basis to create
public awareness about importance of rain water harvesting in recharging
ground water. Training on rain water harvesting are undertaken for dissemination
of cost effective technologies to diverse spectrum of users like private
sector organizations, government agencies, NGO’s, educational institutes,
individuals etc. So far 239 Mass awareness Programme and 157 Training
Programme have been organized by APSGWD. Effective utilization of electronic
and print media have also been made to promote this activity. Response
to these programme observed to be overwhelming, and calls for further
stepping up of such activities on large scale with active involvement
of various stakeholders. Beside this, APSGWD has so far provided technical
guidance for design of more than 2000 rain water harvesting to private
agencies, Govt. Organizations, road and flyover projects, individuals
etc. Active persuasion is being undertaken with State Governments to
ensure mandatory inclusions of provisions of rain water harvesting in
building bye-laws, its implementation in overexploited areas, government
buildings etc.

as unpublished reports. The reports consist of preliminary information
regarding hydrogeological set up and availability of ground water in
the study area. The findings are incorporated in various technical reports.
(ii) Report on Reappraisal
Hydrogeological Surveys
Reappraisal Hydrogeological
Surveys are carried out after every three to five years in the areas
already covered under Systematic Survey. The objective of the study
is to assess the changes in ground water regime in terms of quality
and quantity and to provide essential information for taking up various
activities related to development and management of ground water. The
report consists of all aspects related to hydrogeology and ground water
development potential of the area.. An area of approximately 10 lakh.
Sq. Km is covered in each five year plan. These reports are available
in the library of respective District offices and few of them are also
available in the Library of Ground Water Directorate, Hyderabad.
(iii) Report on Ground
Water Exploration
The ground water exploration
is aided by drilling of exploratory wells to decipher aquifer geometry,
estimation of hydraulic parameters and their yield potential to identify
area suitable for ground water development. The various procedures,
methodologies and observations during the construction of exploratory
wells are compiled in the form of Basic Data Report. Time to time Board
brings out state wise compilation of exploration data in the form of
reports on Ground Water Exploration giving details of district wise
number of wells drilled, location of wells, drilled depth, zones tapped
and other aquifer parameters. The basic data reports are available in
the District office records and in the Regional office library. The
findings are summarized periodically for the state and made available
to the State agencies; the copies are available at libraries of Regions
and Ground Water Directorate, Hyderabad.
(iv)
Report on Ground Water Monitoring:
Ground Water monitoring
is being done through a network of 4000 observation wells distributed
throughout the A.P. State. Water level is monitored six times a year
(Jan/March/May/July/Sept/Nov) and water samples are collected twice
a year in the month of May and November for water quality analysis.
The seasonal monitoring data of the Districts is analyzed and compiled
at District Office level. Ground Water Year Book for each district is
compiled and published, giving details of depth to water level and maps
for each measurement. The reports are made available to the State administration
for suitable action. The copies are available at libraries of District
Offices and Ground Water Directorate, Hyderabad.
