In this regard, Central Ground Water Board collects the groundwater level and quality data from the National Hydrograph Network stations. The water levels are monitored four times a year during the months of May, August, November and January and the samples for determination of the quality of the groundwater are collected once a year during the month of May. This report consists of the water level for the year 2017-18 and chemical quality data collected during the year 2016. Maps showing the depth to groundwater level in different parts of Karnataka and the changes observed in the water level in the last one-year and last one decade are included and discussed in the report. Groundwater stress areas where water levels are depleting as interpreted from the available data are also delineated. The report also consists of the discussions on distribution and variation of rainfall in the state for the year 2017. Chemical quality of groundwater on the basis of the samples collected during May 2014 and the interpretation of the data is included in the report. The data has been compiled, interpreted and presented by Ms.D.Dhayamalar Sc ‘D, Smt.Rakhi.U.R. Sc ‘B and Dr.Lubna Kouser, ‘AH. Analysis and presentation of Groundwater quality aspects is handled by Dr.K.Ravichnandran, Sc-D, Smt.Lalitha B.H STA (Chem.) and Dr.Sailee Bhange, STA (Chem.). A lot of labor has been put in by various personnel of SWR, Bangalore and WKSU Belgaum office for the collection of timely and reliable field data. The water samples were analysed by the Regional Chemical Laboratory to bring out the aspects of groundwater quality. Dr. M.A.Farooqi Sc. ‘D’ of Report processing section has carried out the necessary processing of the report to bring the report to the final stage. It is hoped that the information contained in this yearbook will be useful for planners and all the user agencies associated with development of water resources in the state. (Dr.A.Subburaj) Head of Office ABSTRACT Karnataka state has a geographical area of 1,91,761 Sq.km divided into 30 districts and 176 taluks. The Central Ground Water Board has collected water level data of the phreatic aquifer from 1477 Ground Water Monitoring Stations during the months of May, August, November 2017 and January 2018. This report contains the analysis and interpretation of the data. The actual average rainfall received in the State during the year 2017 was1108 mm 2 per cent more than the normal rainfall of 1091 mm and which fell under the ‘Normal’ category. Annual Normal rainfall varies from as low as 561mm at Bagalkot district to as high as 3722 mm at Udupi district.
