Upper Cauvery Basin, Tamil Nadu कᴂ द्रीय भूमम जल बो셍 ड जऱ संसाधन, नदी विकास और गंगा संरक्षण मंत्राऱय भारत सरकार Central Ground Water Board Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Government of India Report on AQUIFER MAPPING AND GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT Upper Cauvery Basin, Tamil Nadu दक्षक्षण ऩूिी तटीय क्षेत्र, चेꅍनई South Eastern Coastal Region, Chennai Foreword Groundwater is the major source of freshwater that caters the demand of ever growing domestic, agricultural and industrial sectors of the country. This renewable resource has been indiscriminately exploited in some parts of the country by several users as it is easily available and reliable. Intensive and unregulated groundwater pumping in many areas has caused rapid and widespread groundwater decline. Out of 6607 ground water assessment units (Blocks/ mandals / taluks etc.), 1071 units are over-exploited and 914 units are critical. These unitshave withdrawal of ground water is more than the recharge (over exploited) and more 90% of recharge (Critical). Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) has taken up largest Aquifer mapping endeavour in the world, targeting total mapable area of country ~ 23.25 lakh sq. km with a vertical extent of 300 m in soft rock area and 200 m in hard rock area. The extent of aquifer, their potential, resource availability, chemical quality, its sustainable management options will be addressed by National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM). The NAQUIM programme will also facilitate participatory management of ground water to provide long term sustenance for the benefit of farmers. Currently, focus is on ground water stressed areas of eight states comprising 5.25 lakh sq.km viz. Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Bundelkhand region. South Eastern Coastal Region, Central Groundwater Board, Chennai Under NAQUIM has been envisaged with the Mapping of an area of 70,102 sq.km during 2012-17 (XII five year plan) in Tamil Nadu and UT of Puducherry. This report deals with the Aquifer mapping studies carried out in water stressed upper Cauvery basin covering basin area of 4561 sq .km with 3634 sq.km as mappable area. The basin comprises of drought prone districts of Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri and parts of Salem with 32 firkas (15 Over Exploited and 8 Semi-critical), and is mainly dependent on groundwater (85%) for its agricultural needs. The major issues in the basin include declining groundwater levels, sustainability of wells and high Fluoride concentration in patches leading to risk of dental and skeletal fluorosis. Two aquifer units were deciphered with aquifer Unit - I being the weathered, occurs from ground level to 36 m bgl and Aquifer Unit –II is the fractured/Jointed zone existing from 11 to 140 m bgl (2-5 fractures are encountered). In order to arrest the decling groundwater levels and increase the sustainability of wells groundwater management plans were formulated firka wise. I hope this report will be useful for the district administrators, water managers, stakeholders including farmers in knowing the aquifer and managing it resources effectively. A.Subburaj Head of Office EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Detailed hydrogeological studies were conducted in the study basin of Upper Cauvery and huge existing data pertinent to geology, geophysics, hydrology, hydrochemistry was collected, synthesised and analysed to bring out this report. This report mainly comprises the Aquifer geometry and Aquifer properties of the study area which are considered to be measuring scales for groundwater availability and potentiality. Keeping these parameters in view a sustainable management plan has been suggested through which the groundwater needs can be fulfilled in a rational way. Area experiences semi-arid climate with 875 mm annual normal rainfall covering 4541 km2 area in Dharmapur, Krishnagiri and Salem districts of Tamil Nadu. About 51 thousand hectares of area is under groundwater irrigation in the basin and accounts for 11.6% of the geographical area. The main crops irrigated are paddy, sugarcane, groundnut, maize, cotton, ragi and other minor crops are turmeric, vegetables and flowers. Main aquifers constitute, weathered zone at the topfollowed by a discrete anisotropic fractured/fissured zone at the bottom.Groundwater occurs under unconfined condition in the weathered zone and unconfined to semi-confined conditionsin the fractured/fissured zone and flows downward from the weathered zone into the fracture zone. The predominant water levels are in the range of 5-20 m bgl during pre-monsoon season and 2-10 mbgl during post-monsoon season of 2014. The net annual ground water availability is 282 MCM and the gross ground water draft is 335 MCM and the average stage of groundwater development is of 119%. The fluoride levels in the ground waters of the basin exceed the permissible limit of 1.5ppm in few parts of Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri districts due to geogenic contamination. This problem is addressed through drinking water supply to the affected villages from Hognekal reservoir. Aquifer systems from the area can be conceptualized as weathered zone down to ~36m and fractured zone between ~20-200 m bgl. The weathered zone is disintegrated from the bed rock (upper part–saprolite zone) and partially/semi weathered in the lower part (sap rock zone) with transmissivity varying between 5–20 m2/day and specific yield of 1-3 %. The fractured zone is fractured gneiss or Charnockite which occur in limited extent, associated sometime with quartz vein. The average transmissivity of this zone varies between <1–30 m2/day and storativity varies from 0.00002 to 0.001. Fast growing urban agglomerations shares the groundwater which otherwise is being used for irrigation purpose resulting in either shortage for irrigation needs or creates excessive draft to meet the both demands in groundwater potential areas. The study formulates management strategies for supply side as well as demand side. The supply side measures include construction of artificial recharge structures of 302 Check dams, 421 Percolation ponds, 300 recharge shafts in addition to the 689 ponds earmarked for rejuvenation with recharge shafts in all the 15 OE firkas of the basin. The estimated cost for construction of these structures is to be Rs. 308 Crores. The estimated recharge to groundwater system through these structures will be in the order of 61.75 MCM withan average rise of water levels of 2.28m/year. In addition water conservation plan is proposed through low pressure water distribution system in 1391 Ha irrigation area and digging of 1362 farm ponds which support storage as well as recharge. The expected savings in groundwater through this water conservation plan is estimated as 10.8MCM/year. The existing regulatory measures may be modified suitably for optimal utilization of groundwater as well as for sustainable development of rural agricultural based economy. To achieve this goal opinion pool has to be obtained from more user groups and valid suggestions of may be incorporated in the regulatory acts.

Dharmapuri District Collector has shown enormous interest in guiding us to collect the data from various Departments to improve its quality in different dimensions. It is hoped that this Book will surely be useful for reference purpose in various fields. The co-operation extended by various Head of Offices, Public and Private Sector undertakings for the preparation of this Handbook is gratefully acknowledged. Appreciation is conveyed to the staff of Statistical Department who have collected the data and prepared this Statistical Hand Book with worthiness. Constructive suggestions for further improvement of this Statistical Hand Book are welcome. DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF STATISTICS DHARMAPURI. Dharmapuri District was bifurcated from the erstwhile Salem District and Dharmapuri District came into existence from 2nd October, 1965, consisting of Hosur, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri and Harur Taluks. Subsequently, Dharmapuri District was again bifurcated into two districts viz., Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri on 9-2-2004 due to administrative reasons, more number of villages and vast area. LOCATION AND AREA After the bifurcation of Krishnagiri District from Dharmapuri District, the present Dharmapuri District is located approximately between 11o 47” and 12o33” of the North Latitude and between 77o 02” and 78o. 40’30” of east longitude. The total geographical area of the district is 4497 Sq.kms.
