Declining Ground Water level

and failure of shallow bore
wells need for augmenting
the Ground water Resource
by artificial recharge
structures for sustainable
development.
Increase in Fluoride and
Nitrate concentrations
causing health hazards.

Check Dam

Recommendation
1) Construction of Check dams ,Percolation tanks across
the nallas and streams in the water table depleting
areas and where water quality problem exists may be
taken on priority basis
2) A comprehensive program should be formulated to
harvest rain water
3) Prevent Soil Erosion

4) Constant monitoring of Ground Water Quality

5) Identify potential aquifers

6) Adopt Drip irrigation to Conserve Ground Water

Resources
