HYDROGEOLOGY Water Bearing Formation : Alluvium- Sand and Gravel Basalt (Deccan Traps) weathered, fractured, jointed Depth to water level in Shallow Aquifer Premonsoon Depth to Water : 1.3 to 30.3 mbgl Level (May-2016) Postmonsoon Depth to Water : 0.5 to 29 mbgl Level (Nov.-2016) Aquifer Maps and Ground Water Management Plan, Akola District, Maharashtra-2018 Depth to water level in Deeper Aquifer Premonsoon Depth to Water 6.00 to 55 mbgl Level (May-2016) Postmonsoon Depth to Water 6.00 to 27 mbgl Level (Nov.-2016) Water level Trend (2007-16) Premonsoon Water Level Trend : Rise: 0.00085 to 0.363 m/year (2007-2016) Fall: 0.0063 to 1.9827 m/year Postmonsoon Water Level : Rise: 0.0134 to 0.48 m/year Trend (2007-2016) Fall: 0.0037 to 0.7949 m/year 10. GROUND WATER EXPLORATION (As on March, 2017) Wells Drilled : EW-112, OW-35, Pz-15 Depth Range : 11.30 to 434 mbgl Discharge : 0.025 -33.00 lps Storativity : 3 x 10-6 to 1.7 x 10-3 Transmissivity : 1.71 to 247 m2/day (Basalt) 18.55 to 6725 m2/day (Alluvium) 11. GROUND WATER QUALITY Good and suitable for drinking and irrigation purpose, except the saline areas of the Purna Alluvium and Nitrate and Fluoride affected locations for drinking purpose. Type of Water : Basalt- Ca-HCO3 Alluvium- Na-HCO3 & Na-Cl 12. DYNAMIC GROUND WATER RESOURCES- (2013) Net Annual Ground Water : 40427.98 ham Availability (ham) Total Draft (Irrigation + : 17560.48 ham Domestic+ Industrial) Projected Demand (Domestic + : 2819.79 ham Industrial) Stage of Ground Water : 43.44 % Development Category Safe 13. MAJOR GROUND WATER PROBLEMS AND ISSUES Frequent droughts, declining water levels and parts of the Purna River Alluvium affected by inland salinity. Wide range of problems were faced during exploratory drilling operations in hard rock areas of Akola district i.e., mainly caving formation (red bole) and loss of drilling medium. 14.
