CENTRAL GROUND WATER BOARD MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVINATION GOVERNMENT OF INDIA GROUND WATER YEAR BOOK OF HARYANA STATE (2015-2016) North Western Region Chandigarh) September 2016 1 CENTRAL GROUND WATER BOARD MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVINATION GOVERNMENT OF INDIA GROUND WATER YEAR BOOK OF HARYANA STATE 2015-2016 Principal Contributors GROUND WATER DYNAMICS: M. L. Angurala, Scientist- ‘D’ GROUND WATER QUALITY Balinder. P. Singh, Scientist- ‘D’ North Western Region Chandigarh September 2016 2 FOREWORD Central Ground Water Board has been monitoring ground water levels and ground water quality of the country since 1968 to depict the spatial and temporal variation of ground water regime. The changes in water levels and quality are result of the development pattern of the ground water resources for irrigation and drinking water needs. Analyses of water level fluctuations are aimed at observing seasonal, annual and decadal variations. Therefore, the accurate monitoring of the ground water levels and its quality both in time and space are the main pre-requisites for assessment, scientific development and planning of this vital resource. Central Ground Water Board, North Western Region, Chandigarh has established Ground Water Observation Wells (GWOW) in Haryana State for monitoring the water levels. As on 31.03.2015, there were 964 Ground Water Observation Wells which included 481 dug wells and 488 piezometers for monitoring phreatic and deeper aquifers. In order to strengthen the ground water monitoring mechanism for better insight into ground water development scenario, additional ground water observation wells were established and integrated with ground water monitoring database.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1
. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Brief background: Biodiversity may be defined as the richness of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms in any given habitat such as land, water (fresh or saline including seas) or as parasites or symbionts. It is a product of evolution over millions of years. It may be subdivided into three categories – genes, species, and ecosystem. Genetic diversity refers to the variations in the genes within a species. This covers distinct populations of the same species (for example we have thousands of traditional varieties of rice in India.). The term Species diversity refers to the populations of different plants, animals, and microorganisms in a given habitat, existing as an interacting system. They are also referred to as communities. An aggregate of communities occurring as an interacting system in a given ecological niche makes an Ecosystem Biodiversity is the source of all living materials used as food, shelter, clothing, biomass energy, medicaments, and host of other raw materials used in bio-industrial development. Thus, the ecology & economy of the country depends upon the status of its Biodiversity. India is predominantly a biomass-based country with largely bio-industrial pattern of development. Our stakes in biodiversity are high. There is an increasing pressure on natural resources due to growing human population and enhanced pace of socio-economic development. This has led to degradation of habitats and has resulted in loss of biodiversity and agricultural productivity. Biodiversity is an irreplaceable resource: its extinction is forever. Such loss of species affects not only the plants, animals and microorganisms in nature together with those under cultivation / domestication and used in industry, but also species whose values are yet to be ascertained.
