Restricted/for official Use Only GROUND WATER YEAR BOOK 2017-18 JAMMU & KASHMIR Prepared By Rayees Ahmad Pir Assistant Hydrogeologist March 2019 North Western Himalayan Region Jammu 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 Water Resources River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, Government of India, 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 2017-2018. 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, Kathua, Rajouri, Reasi, Samba and Udhampur districts four times in a year (January, May, August and November) and Anantnag, Bandipora, Baramulla, Budgam, Ganderbal, Kupwara, Pulwama and Srinagar Districts three times in a year (May, August and November). Due to the snowfall monitoring of January month is not being done. The effect of rainfall/snowfall on the ground water regime is studied through the fluctuations between pre and post monsoon seasons in Jammu Region and pre and post winter season in Kashmir Valley. 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 regional picture on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of ground water regime in Jammu & Kashmir State. The present Ground Water Year Book, 2017 – 2018 is the hard work & outcome of the efforts made by Rayees Ahmad Pir, Assistant Hydrogeologist. The efforts in depicting the groundwater scenario of Jammu & Kashmir State through maps and giving proper shape to this report, is highly appreciable.

The goals of the Mission are to establish convergence and synergy among ongoing governmental programmes in the field of horticulture. The department had not taken an integrated approach by involving all other concerned departments in planning. Utilisation of funds was not proper which had resulted in huge unspent balances at the close of the financial years and loss of assistance to the State. The department had laid more emphasis on area expansion thereby ignoring certain crucial activities like irrigation etc. which had adversely impacted survival of plants and consequently production. The department had failed to provide outlets to the farmers for their produce. Highlights Ø The department had not prepared any perspective plan. Remote Sensing Technology was not used for identification of waste lands for possible exploitation. (Paragraph: 1.1.7) Ø The department had laid more emphasis on ‘area expansion’ thereby spending more funds on the activity at the cost of other components. (Paragraph: 1.1.9.1) Ø The accountal of the excess vegetable seed costing ` 93 lakh procured and issued to the subordinate offices was not shown. (Paragraph: 1.1.9.2) Ø The production of fruit had increased marginally but the productivity per hectare (ha) had declined during 2005­10. (Paragraph: 1.1.9.6) Ø Marketing facilities had not been provided to the farmers.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 28, 2013; Revised received: September 10, 2013; Accepted: September 20, 2013 Abstract: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the residents of three villages of Doda district, J&K. A total of 391 individuals (202 males and 189 females) were examined from 60 households by house to house survey for recording the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis by using Dean’s Index (1942) along with WHO health assessment form (1997b) and Community fluorosis Index. Of the total studied population 299 (76.47%) have found to be affected with various grades of dental fluorosis with moderate (33.5%) level of fluorosis to be the most frequent category observed. Prevalence of dental fluorosis was more in males (86.61%) than females (63.49%). No significant relation (P>0.05) between prevalence of dental fluorosis to the socioeconomic status was found. Community fluorosis Index was found to be 2.05 which denotes “marked” category of public health significance. High prevalence and high community fluorosis Index suggest that fluorosis is a major public health problem in the area.
