This program integrates the variety of scientific data including geologic, hydrologic, geophysical, and geochemical with the objectivity and knowledge that the Aquifer Mapping Program possesses. Yamunanagar is a place of great Historical and Religious importance, revered all over the country for its sacred associations. It is situated in the north eastern part of Haryana state. Saraswati and Markanda are main rivers of the district. The district has been divided into 2 subdivisions namely Thanesar and Pehowa. It has five development blocks viz., Thanesar, Pehowa, Ladwa, Babain & Shahabad. Aquifer mapping study has been carried out in Yamunanagar district and as a result two to three aquifer systems have been identified up to a depth of 300m. Aquifer I is unconfined in nature and Aquifer II & III are semi-confined to confined in nature. The ground water resource quantity estimation for all the three aquifers has also been assessed. Aquifer I (unconfined) is very prominent in the district and it has been observed that for irrigation and other purposes, the users are tapping mainly Aquifer I. The ground water extraction is quite high which is reflected by the stage of the development of the district i.e. 135% (2013) and district is categorized as over-exploited which leads to the need of the ground water management plan. To reduce the stage of development some management strategies like lining of underground pipelines, crop diversification, roof top rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge has been proposed of which the details are given in the following chapter. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Total geographical area of the district is 1756 sq.km. Administratively, Yamuna Nagar district is divided into one sub-division and six-development blocks viz. Bilaspur, Chachrauli, Jagadhri, Mustafabad, Radaur and Sadhaura. Yamuna Nagar is thickly populated district. The population of the district is 12,14,205 as per 2011 census. The eastern parts of the district falls in the Upper Ya mu n a Basin and western parts falls in Ghaggar basin. Irrigation is done only by ground water. The climate of Yamuna Nagar district can be classified as subtropical monsoon, mild &dry winter, hot summer and sub-humid which is mainly dry with hot summer and cold winter except during monsoon season when moist air of oceanic origin penetrates into the district. There are four seasons in a year. The hot weather season starts from mid March to last week of the June followed by the southwest monsoon which lasts up to September. The transition period from September to November forms the post monsoon season. The winter season starts late in November and remains up to first week of March. The normal annual rainfall of the district is 1107 mm, and is unevenly distributed over the area. The average rainy days are 43. The south west monsoon, sets in from last week of June and withdraws in the end of September, contributing about 81% of normal annual rainfall. July and August are the wettest months. Rest 19% rainfall is received during non-monsoon period in the wake of western disturbances and thunderstorms. 1.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY The district is divided into five Physiographic units • Siwaliks Hills • Dissected Rolling Plains ( Kandi) • Interfluvial Plains • Active and Recent Flood Plains • Relict Wedge Plains Siwaliks Hills – Siwalik hill ranges occupy the northern fringe of Yamuna Nagar district and attain the height up to 950m AMSL. The hills are about 500m high with respect to the adjacent alluvial plains. These are characterized by the broad tableland topography that has been carved into quite sharp slopes by numerous ephemeral streams come down to 1 the outer slopes of the Siwaliks and spread much of gravels boulders, pebbles in the beds of these streams. Kandi Belt - A dissected rolling plain in the northern parts of district is a transitional tract between Siwaliks hills and alluvial plains. It is about 25 km wide and elevation varies between 250 and 375m AMSL. Interfluvial plains - This tract is part of higher ground between Ghaggar and Chautang and includes high mounds and valleys. In general, the slope is from northeast to southwest. Active and recent flood plains - This plain is narrow tract
