Preface
The Groundwater Year Book is a compilation of information on the groundwater level and
quality monitoring network. The Year Book also provides an interpretation of the
hydrogeological system, groundwater resource distribution, water level and water quality
trends. The need for the Year Book has been recognised based on regular enquiries
received from a variety of groundwater users including managers, planners and concerned
citizens. The Year book organises the different data being regularly sought in a systematic
fashion.
The Groundwater Year book summarises the details of the monitoring network, comprising
of …………… monitoring wells, includes ………… dug wells, ………… bore wells, ………
and tube wells. The publication gives details of the locations of …………… piezometers for
which lithological data is available, summary of seasonal water level monitoring from year
……….. to …………., high frequency water level data from ……………. piezometers from
year ………. to ………., water quality data from year ………. to ………., pumping test data
from ………… piezometers and groundwater resource estimation updated to…………….
The Groundwater Year Book gives details on the data collection network, aquifer systems
represented, existing and emerging groundwater issues and an "overview of groundwater
development and management strategies". Keeping in view the users from academic circles,
information on the administrative setup, physiography, landuse, geology, and soil is also
included. The organisation of the Year Book is such that the user will be able to get
information on:
• Groundwater levels, fluctuation pattern and comparison with the past,
• Groundwater resource availability in the different districts and the changing trends,
• Potential and emerging issues in ground water quantity and quality,
• Areas for further studies and investigations,
• Institutional and Legal Issues, and
• Integrated Water management for sustainable development-sustainable solutions.
The report has to clearly identify the common concerns of the groundwater user/beneficiary:
• declining water levels in …………….. areas,
• declining water quality due to industrial pollution/poor sanitation in ………….. areas,
• rising water levels that could lead to water logging in ………….. irrigation command,
• over exploitation in …………….,
• saline water intrusion in …………….,
• arsenic and fluoride issues that need better designs of borewells/ tube wells,
• heavy erosion and gulling leading to reduced recharge in …………….,
• water management problems and policies, and
• need for legal instruments in harmonizing opposing interests.
It is earnestly desired that the concerns listed will be appreciated by the different
stakeholders and departments, and appropriate remedial actions will be taken. The
Department will be only too keen to provide any clarification and detailed interaction on
specific issues. The department invites different agencies to interact with it in taking up
studies and research in areas of common concern. This report can be made available in
electronic format to registered groundwater data users.

Data Processing and Analysis March 2003 Page 1
1 Introduction
A fully functional HIS will provide easy access to the different variety of data required for
bringing out detailed report/Year book. The main activity with respect to reporting will be
analysis and interpretation. The analysed data need to be transformed as information and
made available to the data users. The major users are planners, water resource managers,
administrators and institutions/individuals concerned with development and protection of the
water resource. The ground water year book should aim at providing the answers for the
different questions in the minds of the different variety of users. In the past before the
implementation of HIS, bulk of the time in the Head quarters was spent on systematic
organisation of data received in different formats from the different offices. Implementation of
HIS has made this task simple as the data now comes organised in data bases from the
different DPC. The effort should be to carry out higher level validations, analysis and
interpretation for converting the data into information. The contents and design of Year Book
should be such that it becomes an important medium to dissemination of the results of
systematic data collection.
It is very important to publish the yearbooks in different forms. The traditional way of bringing
out the year book as printed documents shall still be continued but with reduced number.
The most popular medium should be as electronic yearbook presented in the form of CD or
may even be accessible (in controlled manner as per the guidelines of the agency) through
internet. The electronic yearbooks and the printed document shall have the same content.
Keeping in mind the huge volume of data available because of the improved network, high
frequency monitoring, improved laboratories and state of art hardware and software in the
Data Centre, the style of presentation needs to be in the form of graphs, maps and pictures.
Raw field data need not be published in the Year book. The Year book should generate the
necessary interest in the readers to approach the Agencies for field data after making the
necessary payments/seeking permission. Annexes should contain annual summary of
different parameter compared with average/normal values/historical values. The approach
should be to present to the viewer significant trends in the ground water resource availability,
water level fluctuations, water quality changes and rainfall pattern. The impact of water
level/quality fluctuation on the ground water resource availability, water quality
contamination, ground water recharge, drought, water logging etc need to be presented
pictorially as maps, graphs, photographs.
Issues of common concern like droughts, overexploitation, water quality contamination,
lowering of water levels etc need to prioritised for elaboration in the year book. The role of
planners, managers, academicians and individual water user in ensuring sustainability of the
resource should be clearly brought out. The effort should be to keep the presentation as
simple as possible with minimum use of technical jargon. The approach should be to
increase the awareness levels as well as identify areas of concern. The year book presented
is a model and the text used need not be adopted as such, but should help to define a style
for the yearbook. The model provides enough scope for adaptation depending upon the
concerns of the area being reported.
