District-wise data on groundwater resources and its utilization in Andhra Pradesh for the year 2007-08 - A compilation by the Andhra Pradesh State Groundwater Department and the Central Groundwater Board
A compilation by Andhra Pradesh State Groundwater Department & Central Groundwater Board gives details of volumetric data on the groundwater resources and its uses for the year 2007-08. Posted on 13 Jan, 2013 10:53 PM

The data is categorised into watershed wise (basin-wise) annual availability of groundwater, current draft (utilisation), allocation for domestic and industrial needs, availability for future use (or the balance) and categorisation based on stage of development and rigorous statistical treatment of water levels.

Groundwater quality in shallow aquifers of India – A report by the Central Ground Water Board
Summarizing various aspects of Ground water quality with a special reference to six parameters - salinity, chloride, arsenic, fluoride, iron and nitrate.
Posted on 14 Dec, 2010 07:54 AM

This report by the Central Ground Water Board entitled ‘Ground Water Quality in Shallow Aquifers of India’ is an outcome of the follow up of one of the important recommendations of the second meeting of the Advisory Council on Artificial Recharge to Ground Water during September 2007. It attempts to summarize various aspects of groundwater quality in the shallow aquifers in the country with special reference to six parameters viz. salinity, chloride, arsenic, fluoride, iron and nitrate.

Estimation of replenishable groundwater resources of India and their status of utilization - A research paper by CGWB
The paper describes the methodology used in the groundwater resource estimation and the results of the latest country-wide assessment. Posted on 19 Apr, 2010 09:49 PM

The paper describes the methodology used in the groundwater resource estimation and the results of the latest country-wide assessment. In India, dynamic groundwater resources are estimated jointly by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and State governments at periodic intervals. The latest estimates of dynamic resources are based on groundwater resource estimation methodology-1997 (commonly known as GEC-1997). These estimations are widely used in formulating various groundwater development and management plans. The paper also discusses future strategies on groundwater resource estimations.
