for agriculture, industries and domestic requirements. Wherever
surface water storage or canal irrigation is absent or
limited, there is a greater activity of groundwater extraction.
In recent years the utilization of groundwater by
digging wells has increased manifold due to availability of
financial assistance from NABARD and other banking
institutions. The density of irrigation wells has grown very
critically in same watershed causing serious problems of
water scarcity and other environmental conditions. The
groundwater related problems of overexploitation have
assumed an alarming position so as to require immediate
