Udumalpet taluk comes under Tiruppur district, a recently formed district of Tamilnadu previously under Coimbatore district. Udumalpet is the headquarters of Udumalpet taluk and popularly known as” Poor man’s Ooty” due to its cool climatic conditions.
The paper describes in general the over all picture of ground water extraction in the Taluk. The groundwater occurrence and potential of an area mainly depend upon so many factors like the hydrogeological conditions, topography, rainfall, soils, recharge and discharge.
Finally the author suggests instead of continuously reaching out for more water, the challenge is to do more with less by conserving and recycling water and using it more efficiently.
