FOREWORD

Water is one of the essential natural resources for sustaining life on blue planet “Earth”. The demand of fresh / usable water has increased manifold globally due to rapid growth in population, which in turn caused change in agricultural pattern and increase in industrial activities. To meet the demand of fresh water of various sectors, there is an enormous stress on ground water resources as the surface water pollution is increasing day by day. This has resulted in the water level decline in many parts of the country.

Central Ground Water Board, the apex organization under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, Government of , monitors the behavior of the ground water regime through a network of ground water monitoring wells spread across the country. The water level data collected from such observation wells in each state are compiled, processed and the salient features brought out as a “Ground Water Year Book” every year. This report pertains to the scenario of ground water regime in the state of Jammu and Kashmir for the year 2018-2019. Central Ground Water Board, North Western Himalayan Region, Jammu is monitoring the groundwater regime under various hydrogeological setting through Dug wells and Piezometers in valley areas of Jammu and Kashmir State, viz. Jammu, , , , Samba and four times in a year (January, May, August and November) and , Bandipora, , , , , and Districts three times in a year (May, August and November). Due to the snowfall, ground water level monitoring in the month of January is not taken up. The effect of rainfall/snowfall on the ground water regime is studied through the fluctuations between pre and post monsoon seasons in and pre and post winter season in . Similarly, water level fluctuations between the two consecutive seasons are studied and comparisons of water level for the year are done with the long-term mean of at least one decade. The spatial and temporal variations in the chemical quality of the formation water are studied through chemical analysis results of water samples collected from the ground water monitoring wells during May. The information and data presented in this report will serve as a database to the user agencies, ground water planners and managers and will be of immense use to understand the Divisional picture on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of ground water regime in Jammu & Kashmir State. The present Ground Water Year Book for the period 2018-2019 is result of hard work & and untiring efforts made by Sh. Rayees Ahmad Pir, Assistant Hydrogeologist. The outcome of this report presented in form of tables and maps depicting the ground water scenario of Jammu & Kashmir State is highly appreciable. I personally feel that this will be of immense use for planners, administrators and other stake holders engaged in development, management and regulation of ground water resources in the state.

1. INTRODUCTION Jammu and Kashmir including UT of Ladakh is the northern most UT of India. It lies within latitudes of 32°17’ and 36° 58’ N and longitudes of 73° 26’ and 80° 30' E. It has a total geographical area of 2,22,236 km2 which includes an area of 78,114 km2 under occupation of and 5180 km2 which has been illegally handed over by Pakistan to China. It also includes 37,555 km2area which is under illegal occupation of China. Total 30 Survey of India Degree Sheets cover entire J&K & Ladakh. The state has international border with China and Afghanistan in the north, Tibet in east and Pakistan in the west. The states of Punjab and lie in the south. Major parts of Jammu and Kashmir State represent high rugged mountainous terrain. The Jammu and Kashmir State is divided into two administrative Divisions viz. Kashmir Division comprising Kashmir DIVISION and Jammu Division comprising of Jammu DIVISION. There are total twenty districts in J&K. The administrative map of the state is shown in figure 1.

The Central Ground Water Board started monitoring of ground water regime through All India network of hydrograph stations from 1969 onwards. The density of observation wells was increased year after year. Earlier ground water monitoring was carried out through a network of open wells, generally dug wells for drinking purpose tapping shallow aquifers. Keeping in view the importance of future ground water development, the network was subsequently strengthened by construction of purpose built piezometers. Presently in Jammu and Kashmir, a total of 321 dug wells, 9 Piezometers and 10 springs are being monitored for this purpose. The Central Ground Water Board, North Western Himalayan DIVISION is monitoring water levels in observation wells in Jammu and Kashmir State four times a year viz. May (between 20th and 31st), August (between 20th and 31st), November (1st and 10th) and January (1st and 10th). Water samples from observation wells are collected once in a year during May for quality testing. The water level and chemical analysis data thus collected is analyzed and interpreted by GEMS and Map Info software and Ground Water Regime Monitoring Bulletin is prepared and issued seasonally with interpreted data and thematic maps depicting ground water scenario of J&K state.

The total number of active ground water monitoring wells (DW, PZ & Sp) are 344 as on January 2019 which are located in alluvial areas of Jammu, Kathua, Samba, Rajouri, Reasi, Udhampur, Srinagar, Baramulla, Bandipora, Anantnag, Ganderbal, Kupwara and Pulwama Districts. Most of monitoring stations fall in alluvial plains in these districts. The present report discusses Regional behavior of water levels in phreatic aquifers for the period

Page | 1 May, August, November 2018 and January 2019 which will enable user agencies to plan development strategies. The results of chemical analysis of water samples collected in May 2017 from observation wells established by Central Ground Water Board, North Western Himalayan Region are also discussed. The main objective of ground water regime monitoring in Jammu and Kashmir is to determine the net change in ground water storage and can be summarized as follows: 1. To study fluctuation of water levels both spatially and temporally in response to ground water recharge and/or discharge. 2. To evaluate changes in ground water level with respect to preceding year for the same period. 3. To evaluate changes in ground water levels with respect to a long-term average water level such as decadal mean. 4. To study fluctuation of water level during different seasons. 5. To study hydro-chemical behaviour of phreatic aquifers.

1.1 Status of Hydrograph Network Stations In Jammu & Kashmir, at present there are 340 Hydrograph Network Stations which are being monitored every year during pre-monsoon and post- monsoon periods. 251 NHS exist in Jammu Division and 89 stations in Kashmir Division. Till date no monitoring stations have been established in Ladakh Division. District-wise number of hydrograph network stations as on 31.03.2019 is given in table-1 and their locations are shown in Figure 2.

PHYSIOGRAPHY Physiography of the Jammu & Kashmir is highly varied with highest mountain ranges of the world, extensive plateau, enormous valleys, deep gorges and large canyons in Middle and Trans-Himalayan regions. The individual ranges have characteristic steep slopes towards south and much gentle slope towards north. The northern slopes are covered with thick and dense growth of vegetation, while the southern slopes are mostly bare, with thin sparse forest cover. The range separates Ladakh Division with Kashmir Valley while Pir Panjal range divides Jammu Division and Kashmir Valley (Figure 3). J&K can be divided into six distinct physiographic units as discussed below. Sirowal Belt: The Sirowal belt covers an area of about 1000 km2 and has an average topographic gradient of 1:250 to 1:300 in southwest direction. The land elevation of Sirowal belt above mean sea level is normally within 320 m. Southern parts of Jammu and Kathua Districts fall in this belt. Kandi Belt: The elevation of Kandi belt ranges between 320 m and 400 m above mean sea level (m amsl). The average topographic gradient varies between 1:60 and 1:100. Kandi belt covers an area of about 1500 km2 and occupies parts of Jammu and Kathua Districts imperceptibly north of Sirowal belt. Kandi belt in Jammu & Kashmir state runs in northwest - southeast direction as a narrow strip between rivers Munawar Tawi in the west and Ravi in the east. The belt is occupied by reworked Siwalik debris, which has master slope towards south- west. Siwalik Region: Land elevation of Siwalik Region ranges between 400 m and 750 m above mean sea level. Ridges and small independent valleys are the prominent features of Siwalik Region which covers parts of Kathua, Jammu, Udhampur and Rajouri Districts. Kashmir Valley: The elevation of valley floor above mean sea level ranges between 1500 m and 2000 m. Kashmir valley covers an area of 5600 km and comprises parts of Budgam, Pulwama, Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla and Kupwara Districts. Hilly Mountains: The high mountain ranges have the elevation between 2000 m and 5000 m above mean sea level and form parts of Udhampur, Anantnag, Baramulla, Srinagar and Kupwara Districts. Trans-Himalayan Zone: The trans-Himalayan zone constitutes the inaccessible mountainous terrain of Kargil and Leh districts in Ladakh Division. The elevation of this zone varies between 5000 m and 8000 m above mean sea level. However, along the lower reaches of Indus and Shyok rivers the elevation is less than 5000 m.

Hard or consolidated- rocks comprising granites, slates, quartzite, Panjal traps, limestone etc. Semi-consolidated rocks comprising of clay stone, siltstone, and sandstone etc unconsolidated formations ranging in age from Quaternary to Recent are comprised of Clay, Silt, Sand, Gravel, pebbles, Boulder etc. The brief geological setting of the state is given in Table-2.

Table 2 Geological Setting in J&Kz Age Formation Recent to Sub-recent Alluvium Pleistocene Karewas Middle Pliocene to Pleistocene Siwaliks Miocene ’s Unconformity Eocene Subathu Formation Cretaceous/ Eocene Volcanics/ Basic Intrusives Cretaceous Flysch Beds Jurassic Punch-Mandi Formations Triassic Mandi& Infra-Triassic Formations Palaeozoic Panjal Traps/ Tanwal Carboniferous / Permian Agglomeratic Slates Fenestella Shales Gondwana Formations, Zewan Beds Silurian-Devonian Muth Quartzites Upper Pre-Cambrian to Lower Cambrian Dogra Slates Lower Pre-Cambrian Salkhala Series Pre-Cambrian Granite & Basic Intrusives The Salkhala out crops have been traced in the form of hairpin bend around the northwestern end of the Kashmir Valley. The Salkhala group comprises of succession of Carbonaceous Shales, Schists, graphitic phyllites, carbonaceous limestones, dolomites, marbles, and quartzites. The Salkhala group is stratigraphically overlain by Dogra Slates, which conformably grades into the lower Paleozoic succession. In southern part of Kashmir, the Dogra Slates are conformably overlain by a succession of phyllites, sandstones, massive quartzites, grits and conglomerates known as Tanwal and suggested that the succession bridges the gap between Dogra Slate and upper Paleozoic rocks in south and south western Kashmir. The Paleozoic formations of Kashmir exposed along the Pir Panjal range and great Himalayan ranges rest either over Dogra slates or pre-Cambrian crystalline rocks of the Salkhala group. A succession of white quartzites, Shales, siltstones and dolomitic limestones exposed around Kashmir synclinorium has been referred as Muth formation. In Northern part of the Kashmir, the Muth Quartzites is conformably overlain by Syringothris limestone, a

Page | 7 succession of Grey and dark blue limestone with a few interbedded shales, quartzites and traps. The formation exposed along the southern slopes of Pir Panjal near . Agglomeratic slate series is well exposed in the Pir Panjal range , Lidar valley, and in . The polymioctites consists of rock fragments derived from glacial erosion as well as from volcanic outburst. It is a succession of slates, sandstone, quartzite and with a few bands of conglomerates. The Agglomeratic slate series is overlain and often intermixed with thick succession of Andesitic and basaltic traps known as Panjal Volcanics. The Volcanics occupy the steep slopes and high peaks of the Pir Panjal ranges and higher reaches of ladder valley. The volcanic activity seems to have persisted in Kashmir from late carboniferous to late Triassic epochs. Permian rocks of Kashmir are conformly overlain by thick succession of limestones and shales known as Zewan formation. The out crops of Jurassic rock have restricted distribution in Kashmir. A major part of the rock is buried beneath the quaternary sediments and reported in northern slopes of Pir Panjal range Baltal and Joji-la areas. The cretaceous rocks have not been reported from the Kashmir . The Murrees extensively exposed on the Jammu-Srinagar highway around Batote consists of basal conglomerate bed overlain by intercalations of bright red purple clay and green sandstones and is overlain by Siwalik group rock formations. Most of the Kashmir valley is occupied by this gravel-sand and mud succession known in Indian Stratigraphy as ‘Karewa formation’. There are different opinions about the deposition of Karewa formations. But based on detailed geological mapping Bhatt (1978, 1982) proposed that sedimentation of Karewa deposits took place in a lake basin, but suggested that during deposition of Lower Karewa lake occupied the whole Kashmir valley floor, but during Upper Karewa time the lake was localized only in the north-eastern flank of the basin. Karewa cover an area of about 5600 Sq. Km in Kashmir Valley. Karewa group is defined to include the more or less unconsolidated layered sedimentary succession deposited in fluvio- lacustrine environments in the Kashmir valley, overlying the Precambrian- Mesozoic basement and overlain by Holocene alluvium of modern rivers etc.’. Karewa group is divided into two formations viz., Lower Karewa and Upper Karewa. The Lower Karewa formation is characterized by plastic grey to bluish grey clay, light grey sandy clay, lignite and lignitic-clay, coarse to medium grained sand and conglomerates. It is about 1200-mt thick formations. The Upper Karewa formation is characterized by brown, grey sandy clay, medium to coarse-grained sand, cream coloured marl, conglomerate and loam (loess) sediments. In this upper Karewa, lignitic shale and grey bluish shale are absent. Thickness of this formation is about 50 to 200 mt. The loamy sediments are present throughout the valley making the top of the Karewa Terraces. The Upper Karewa formation sediments are exposed extensively on the Pir Panjal flank due to uplift of Pir Panjal range along with its Karewa sediments. The top of Karewa terraces are capped by a fine grained mostly silty succession without any bedding structures. These are mainly loam or loess formation. At some places the formation is extremely muddy, silty or rather sandy. In some cases, sand layers are intercalated.

Indus Basin The total drainage area of Indus Basin is 11,78,440 km2 out of which an area of 453,250 km2 falls in high Himalayan mountains and the remaining 725,190 km2 falls in the plains of the drainage area in plains. A total of 321,290 km2 area of Indus basin falls in India whereas only 131,960 km2 area falls in Pakistan. The Indus River (Sanskrit-Sindhu, Greek-Sinthos, Latin-Sindhu) originates from lofty mountains near Man Sarovar Lake at an elevation of 5182 m and traverses for several hundred kms through Tibet and India before reaching Suleiman Mountains in Pakistan. A part of the Indus Basin is above the permanent snow line, which varies in altitude from 4268 m in the eastern part to 5792 m in the western part. In Ladakh DIVISION, the snow line is at 5488 m above mean sea level, which recedes during summer. The hydrographic system of the Indus Basin is very extensive. The river initially runs along the strike of the mountains and then suddenly makes an acute bend to the south and flows directly across the mountain. The Gilgit River joins the Indus at its great bend to the south. The Indus flows initially under the name of Singee Khabab until it is joined by Ghar River at about 257 kms from its source. After short distance downstream it enters Jammu &Kashmir at an elevation of 4206 m. It skirts Leh at 3200 m and is joined by Zanskar River while still flowing north but more westerly. The Indus passes near Sardou and reaches Haramosh Mountain (7407 m). Here it takes a turn southwards at an acute angle and passing near Hattu Pir, enters Kohistan. After flowing through wilds of Kohistan and at about 1450 km from its source, the Indus is joined by Kabul and Swat Rivers from Afghanistan. At this point the elevation of the Indus falls to about 610 m. After leaving Attock in Pakistan the river flows southwards, parallel to the Suleiman Range. At about 805 km. from the Arabian Sea and at an elevation of 79 m amsl, the Indus receives waters from all of its five major tributaries viz. Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and and here, it is known as Panjnad (five rivers). The river finally joins the Arabian Sea through its mouth, which forms a big delta covering 7770 km2 and a vast coastline of about 201 km. Major sub-basins of Indus System in Jammu & Kashmir State are the Jhelum Sub-basin, the Chenab Sub-basin and the Ravi Sub-basin. A brief account of these three sub-basins is given as under: -

Page | 9 4.1.1. Jhelum Sub-Basin The Jhelum is known in Kashmir as the Veth River. Most parts of Kashmir valley are drained by , which flows in northwesterly direction. The Jhelum River (Sanskrit-Vitasta, Greek-Hydaspes, Latin-Bipaspes) originates from Spring. The River has various tributaries in the valley, several of which come from the everlasting snows of the Lidar valley. Near Srinagar it is received by the Sind River, and then forms the Wular Lake in Bandipora District which, in fact, is a delta of Jhelum River. Below Baramulla, the river leaves the fertile banks of the valley and rushes headlong down a deep gorge at Khadnayar and joins the at Trimmu in Pakistan. 4.1.2. Chenab Sub-Basin The Chenab River or Asikin, as it was known in Vedic times, is formed by two important tributaries, the Chandra and the Bhaga, which join near Keylong in Himachal Pradesh to form Chandra-Bhaga or the Chenab River in Himachal Pradesh. The River then flows through the Kashmir Himalayas to emerge into the plains at in , at about 250 km from its source. Ranbir canal takes off from its left bank in Akhnoor tehsil. 4.1.3. Ravi Sub-Basin Very small parts of the state, mainly the extreme south-eastern parts, fall in the Ravi Sub-basin. The rises from the northern face of in Himachal Pradesh at an elevation of 4116 m. After passing through Dhaula Dhar hill ranges, the river emerges from the foothills near Madhopur where the head works of the Upper Bari Doab Canal exist. It has the smallest catchment area among the rivers of the Indus System. An important tributary of Ravi River, the Which originates from the Basohli hills of joins the mainstream to its right at Lassian. 5 HYDROMETEOROLOGY Jammu and Kashmir has great diversity in its temperature and precipitation. Excepting the plain, south of the Siwaliks of the Jammu Division, the climate over the greater parts of the state resembles that of the mountainous and continental parts of the temperate latitudes. 5.1. Climate of Jammu Division Climate of Jammu Division is sub-humid to sub-tropical. It is divisible into two parts namely (i) the plain Region, lying to the south of the Siwaliks and (ii) the mountainous Region, stretching over the Middle and the Greater Himalayas in the districts of Doda, Rajouri, and Udhampur. The climate of the plain Region and Middle Himalayas

Page | 10 including the Pir Panjal is characterized by a rhythm of seasons which is caused by the reversal of winds in the form of south-west and north-east monsoons. The reversal of pressure takes place regularly twice a year. This Region has sub-tropical climate with hot and dry climate in summer and cold climate in winter. It lies in the northern hemisphere above the tropic of Cancer. The Minimum and Maximum temperature of the district varies between 4ºC to 47ºC and the monsoon starts from the beginning of July to the first week of September. From October to June the precipitation and temperature patterns resemble closely the valley temperature zones. However, the summer rainfall and temperature resemble the precipitation pattern in the sub-tropical zone. The Region receives an average annual precipitation of 1070 mm mainly in the form of rainfall. Snowfall occurs in high mountainous parts of Jammu Region due to south-west monsoon from July to September and contributes about 80% of the total rainfall. The temperature in plain areas of Jammu Region goes up to 45ºC during summer and drops to as low as 3º C during winter season. Average number of Annual rainy days in Jammu Region is 59. 5.2. Climate of Kashmir Division The weather and climate of Kashmir Division are intrinsically linked with the weather mechanism of the subcontinent in general. The location of the Kashmir Valley at a high altitude (about 1600m amsl) in the north–western corner of the subcontinent, surrounded by high mountains on all sides, gives it a unique geographical character with distinctive climatic characteristics. It experiences Temperate-cum-Mediterranean type of climate. The average annual precipitation is 660 mm. In winters, rainfall occurs from the western disturbances (temperate cyclones). These disturbances have their origin in the Mediterranean Sea. The rainfall generated by these cyclones is fairly widespread locally known as Alamgir. About 65% of the precipitation occurs in the form of snow during winter season, i.e. December to February. March and April are the months of rainfall. May to September are relatively dry months. The mercury drops between - 8ºC and 12ºC during winter and attains a moderate temperature of around 35ºC during summer.

Page | 11 6. SOILS Various types of soils are formed in different Regions of the state owing to marked Physiographic and climatological variations. Alluvial soils occur in parts of Jammu and Kathua Districts where the land elevation is less than 300 m above mean sea level. These soils are homogeneous and very fertile. Brown hilly soils are formed at elevations between 300 and 1500 m amsl in the areas of moderately undulating topography. Spodo soils are developed in areas with land elevation between 1500 and 3000 m amsl experiencing relatively colder winters and higher mean annual rainfall. These soils occur in Poonch and Doda districts. Ochara-qulf soils are yellowish brown in colour and have moderately low permeability. These are developed at an elevation of about 1600 m amsl in mid upland areas of Kashmir Valley. Hapludalf soils are yellowish brown to dark brown in colour, very deep and well drained. Skeletal soils are developed in parts of Leh and Kargil districts of Ladakh Region, which vary in altitude between 2400 m and 7200 m amsl and experience severely cold and dry winters. 7. HYDROGEOLOGY The Hydrogeological set up in the state is very complicated owing to varied geological settings and ground water conditions. All the three divisions of Jammu & Kashmir state represent entirely different ground water regimes. Based on geology and aquifer characteristics, the area of the state can be divided into two broad hydrogeological units. These are Porous and Fissured formations. 7.1 Porous Formation Porous formations are best suitable for the exploration and development. Potential zones are encountered in these formations. Division wise porous formations are described hereunder: -

7.1.1 JAMMU DIVISION In Outer Plains of Jammu division, extending between River Ravi in the east to Munawar Tawi in the west, the ground water occurs in piedmont deposits belonging to upper Pleistocene to Recent age. The deposits comprise unconsolidated sediments in the form of terraces and coalescent alluvial fans developed by the streams debauching out of Siwalik Hills. The sediments consist of coarse clastics ranging in size from boulder to gravel in the loose clay matrix and occasionally alternating bands of clay of varying thickness. Kankar is also intercalated with these sediments at different intervals and in variable quantity. These deposits are graded into finer sediments from north to south in that order.

Page | 12 Down south it comprises alternate bands of sands of all grades and clay with subordinate peck of gravels and pebbles.  Kandi Formation Kandi formation comprises very coarse material with little clay but in the Outer Plain of Jammu & Kashmir, the typical Kandi formations are not seen. Instead, they comprise boulders, gravels, pebbles and coarse sand with substantial amount of clay sometimes hard and sticky of varying thickness. The clay proportion increases towards southwest. Occurrence of perched water bodies is a common phenomenon in the Kandi belt of Jammu & Kashmir. The ground water generally occurs under unconfined conditions in Kandi formation.  Sirowal Formation The Kandi formation coalesces into Sirowal formation in the south, finer outwash of Siwalik debris, brought by streams. Ground water occurs under both confined as well as unconfined conditions in Sirowal formation. A spring line demarcates the contact between Kandi and Sirowal formations because the ground water oozes out along this line causing marshy conditions. The spring line has undergone deformation due to decline of water level resulting from development of ground water in Sirowal area. However, the base flow could be seen in streams south of this line, which also in the Sirowal formation is the existence of auto-flow conditions in the deeper aquifer system. The Dun Belt separates the Siwalik hills from the middle Himalayas and runs as a series of river terraces between Basohli (32°30', 76°49'30") in the east to Reasi (33°05', 74°50') and beyond in the west. The sediments are in the form of isolated Sub-Recent to Recent valley fill deposits ranging in thickness between a few meters to a few tens of meters. These deposits are often dissected as a result of the present-day drainage pattern. The deposits comprise of coarse clastics such as boulders, cobbles, pebbles etc. inter-bedded with lenticular clays.  Isolated Valley Fills in Middle Himalayas There exist a number of isolated valleys in middle Himalayas where ground water occurs in valley fill deposits comprising of lacustrine to fluvio-glacial sediments. A few meter-thick layer of loess overlies these deposits, which is windblown. Ground water in such valleys generally occurs under confined conditions. One of the prominent isolated valleys in middle Himalayas is Kishtwar valley in of Jammu Division. 7.1.2. KASHMIR DIVISION Kashmir valley covers an area of 5600 Sq. km and is occupied by Karewa that consist of a huge pile of alternating bands of sand, silt and clay interspersed by glacial boulder beds. The sands are mostly fine to very fine grained and it is very rare that they are medium to

Page | 13 coarse grained. There is considerable lateral facies variation in the nature of sediments. The aggregate thickness of these sediments is of the order of 2500-3000 m. Ground water in the Karewa of Kashmir valley occurs under both confined as well as unconfined conditions. 7.2. Fissured Formation About 15000 sq. km. area in Jammu Division is occupied by hilly terrain. It comprises rocks ranging in age from Precambrian (Salkhala series) to Miocene or even Pliocene (Murrees and upper-middle Siwaliks). The rock types range from soft or friable sandstones, Clays, Shales, Conglomerates to hard traps and metamorphics such as quartzite and crystalline limestone. In the Siwalik terrain, where groundwater is tapped, it comes mainly either from the weathered formation or from the joints or cracks of these rocks. Friable Siwalik sandstones do possess primary porosity but are not very potential aquifers. 8. BEHAVIOUR OF WATER LEVELS DEPTH TO WATER LEVEL The water levels in Ground Water Monitoring Wells of Jammu and Kashmir State were measured four times during the period 2018-2019 (May 2018, August 2018, November 2018 and January 2019). The water levels observed are shown in Annexure-I & II. The ground water levels in different seasons were analyzed to evaluate the temporal behaviour of water level. The behaviour of water levels during the period May 2018 to January 2019 has been compared with the previous water levels as well as with the average water level for the last decade (decadal behaviour) to ascertain the changes in the ground water regime. All the data has been put in the GIS format and the data has been analyzed. After analysis, the contours of water levels below the ground surface have been created by joining the areas with same water levels and the areas have been demarcated with uniform contour intervals. The contouring has been done by Natural Neighborhood Interpolation method. District wise categorization of water levels observed during May, August, November 2018 and January, 2019 is given in Annexure-I & II.

HYDROCHEMISTRY The quality of shallow ground water in the state of Jammu & Kashmir has been evaluated on the basis of 247 number of water samples collected from shallow aquifers during pre-monsoon season. All the collected samples were analyzed by adopting standard methods of analysis (APHA). Chemical analysis data of ground water samples collected during May 2016 monitoring in valley portions of Jammu & Kashmir state is given in Annexure – III & IV. 9.1 Results and Discussions 9.1.1 Specific Conductance

Electrical Conductivity of ground water is generally low. Majority of samples (85.42%) are found to have specific conductance less than 750 µS/cm at 25oC (Table 17). Hence the ground water is fresh and potable. In Jammu division, specific conductance varies between 220 and 2700 µS/cm at 25oC. More than 3000 µS/cm is not observed in any sample. In Kashmir Division, specific conductance varies between 250 and 810 µs/cm at 25oC. Major parts of the valley areas are showing EC values <1000 µs/cm.

Page | 46 9.1.2 pH In Jammu DIVISION water is neutral to alkaline in nature. Most of the samples collected from shallow ground water of Jammu district are alkaline in nature. In Jammu Division, pH values vary between 6.62 (Kothey Saini) and 8.63 (Jhangar) and in Kashmir Division pH values vary between 7.02 (Chowgal) to 8.16 (Aripathan)

Page | 47 9.1.3 Chloride In Jammu Division, the Chloride concentration varies from 4 to 284mg/l. In Kashmir valley area the Chloride concentration is less than 200 mg/l. It varies from 11 mg/l to 145 mg/l. The Chloride concentrations in all the wells are within the maximum permissible limit 1000 mg/l as prescribed by BIS for drinking water purpose. In majority of samples (98.78%) chloride concentration are less than 250, but at few places high values (but < 300) are also observed. None of the samples has shown Chloride concentration >1000 mg/l (Table 17).

Page | 48 9.1.4 Fluoride The concentrations of fluoride in majority of the samples (99.59 %) are within acceptable limit of 1 mg/l. In 1 location (0.40 % of the total samples) the fluoride concentrations vary from 1.01 – 1.50 mg/l and are within permissible limit as prescribed by BIS. None shows > 1.50 mg/l fluoride concentration. Those samples are having high fluoride concentration, which may be due to Geogenic sources (Table17).

Page | 49 9.1.5 Nitrate Nitrate Concentration in general is low (90.28% samples), but high values are also reported in some of the samples (9.71%). The details of samples having Nitrate concentration more than maximum permissible limit of BIS (>45mg/l) are summarized in the table 17 and 18.

The Calcium concentrations in all the wells are within the maximum permissible limit up to 200 mg/l as prescribed by BIS for drinking water purpose. In majority of samples (223 samples), calcium concentration are less than 75mg/l i.e. within acceptable limits whereas 24 samples with high values (but < 200 mg/l within permissible limits) are also observed. None of the samples has shown calcium concentration >150 mg/l.

Page | 52 9.1.7 Magnesium The Magnesium concentration varies from 2 to 236 mg/. The magnesium concentrations in all the wells are within the maximum permissible limit up to 30 mg/l as prescribed by BIS for drinking water purpose. In majority of samples (144 samples), magnesium concentration are less than 30 mg/l i.e. within desirable limits whereas 97 samples with high values (but < 100 mg/l within permissible limits) are also observed. 6 samples have shown magnesium concentration >100 mg/l.

Page | 53 9.1.8 Total Hardness High concentration of carbonates, bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium in ground water causes hardness. It causes scaling in water supply lines. High concentration of hardness in ground water is social economic problem; hence it is also an important water quality parameter. The ranges of Hardness are shown in table 19 Classification of Hardness As per the classification of hardness, 158 samples fall under very hard category and 62 wells fall in hard category. Rest Samples 3 and 24 samples are soft and moderately hard in Category. In Kashmir Valley 8 falls in hard and 13 very hard in nature. As per the BIS norms 200 and 600 mg/l is the acceptable and maximum permissible limit respectively for drinking water purposes. It is clear that all samples are within the maximum permissible limit (i.e. 600 mg/l), except few locations where high value of total Hardness > 600 mg/l is observed. District Wise Range of Hardness during May 2016 is summarized in table 20. Table 19 Ground water samples summarized as per classification of Hardness

The sulphate concentrations in majority of wells are within the permissible limit (400 mg/l) whereas 4 samples have shown sulphate concentration >400 mg/l as prescribed by BIS for drinking water purpose. In 236 samples, sulphate concentration are less than 200mg/l i.e. within desirable limits whereas 7 samples with high values (but < 400 mg/l within permissible limits) are also observed.

Page | 56 9.1.10 Iron Out of 247 wells analyzed, high concentration of Iron i.e. greater than 1.0 mg/l has been reported in 46 (18.62 %) wells in parts of Jammu, Kathua, Rajouri, Reasi and Udhampur districts. Rest of wells 201 (81.37 %) is having iron concentration <1.0 mg/l with in desirable limit as per BIS in all the districts of Jammu and Kashmir Division. In Kashmir Division, Iron concentration above 1.00 mg/l has not been found in any of samples. The iron is due to iron bearing rocks/ minerals like Hematite, magnetite and its oxide which forms iron bacteria in anoxic conditions. Table 21.

Page | 58 10. RECOMMENDATIONS  Ground water in Jammu and Kashmir is fresh and potable in most of the areas. Water supply is mainly dependent on ground water whether it is spring source, shallow ground water or deep ground water. Ground water is the main source for surface water bodies in the form of base flow in lean periods. Proper protection measures need to be taken to avoid contamination of ground water.

 Even though salinity is not a major concern in the state, there are problems of ground water contamination like iron (Fe) (in Tertiary belt and in Kashmir valley), marshy gases (in shallow and deep aquifers of Kashmir valley), Fluoride in localized areas like in parts of Doda district. Nitrate contamination, Bacteriological contaminations, ground water pollution are due to pesticides/ fertilizers in agriculture and horticulture. The quality surveillance needs to be increased by State Government Organizations. Ground water quality shall be monitored once in a year for all major elements, trace metals and bacteriological contaminations.

 Most of the ground water is hard to very hard category causing gastro-intestinal problems. This type of water may be treated properly before supplying the water for drinking purposes.

 Deeper aquifers in both Jammu Division and Kashmir valley can be developed for mitigating the water supply requirements. Micro-level planning is required to develop these aquifers based on the available data of aquifer geometry, parameters and water resources. Groundwater from deeper aquifers in Kashmir valley consists of iron and marshy gasses which need to be treated properly before supplying the water. It is better to identify the iron free aquifers through scientific ground water exploration techniques couples with modern techniques of geophysics so that iron problem can be mitigated. Tube wells shall be constructed by tapping only iron free aquifers and avoiding iron rich aquifers through cement sealing and putting gravel pack only around the iron free aquifers.

 The reality of climate change is the most significant long term threat to water resources. In hilly region, water supply is still based on springs, where discharges of springs are drastically being reduced. Systematic enumeration/inventory of springs including its quality, snow water harvesting techniques and other available techniques are required to develop ground water resources on sustainable basis need to be

Page | 59 adopted.

 Fast developing urban & industrial areas need special attention/quality surveillance by the State government authorities. Proper monitoring for trace elements in industrial areas like Bari-Brahmana, Gangyal and other industrial areas located in Kashmir valley shall be taken up. Monitoring network stations shall be established all along the nalas and drains carrying industrial effluents.

 As the water supplies in Jammu city and parts of areas in Srinagar city are ground water based, proper well head protection measures need to be taken to avoid bacteriological contamination like coliform bacteria and E-coli.

 There is lack of proper sewage and sanitation in all over the state resulting into ground water and surface water contaminations. This issue need to be addressed immediately by the authorities. Village sewages shall be disposed off properly after proper treatment. In water logging areas, where ground water is being contaminated by polluted surface water, proper drainage shall be created for avoiding the water logging conditions.

 Ground water contamination by improper disposal of domestic and industrial solid wastes is of another concern. Special efforts shall be made to address this problem.

 There is an urgent need to take-up comprehensive studies on ground water quality of both shallow and deep ground waters analyzing major elements, heavy metals, pesticides, microbial contamination is the need of the hour. Areas identified in this report where higher concentrations of heavy metals, nitrates and fluorides need to be given special attentions.

 The existing data base on quality with different organizations like CGWB, PHED, State pollution control board, academic institutions like Jammu university and Kashmir university need to integrated and a comprehensive data base need to be established.

 Scientific research projects on ground water contamination especially geo-genic contamination like Iron, gasses and fluoride need to be taken up immediately.

 Proper management strategies need to be drawn up to combat the problems of geo- genic contamination. Cost effective community level treatment plants need to be established.

Page | 60  The treatment plants as recommended in this report shall be constructed with trained manpower as in charges so that these treatment plants may work efficiently for longer periods.

 As the ground water is hard to very hard type and consists of iron, proper treatment shall be followed before using this water for irrigation through modern irrigation methods like sprinkler and drip irrigation systems. This type of water may choke the sprinklers and drips.
