Free legal services have been incorporated in the legal system, to make available the legal channels of justice to the poor. But due to illiteracy, ignorance or unawareness, a large section of our society, particularly those who live in remote rural areas, still remain deprived of the advantages of such welfare legislations and schemes. Lack of information and knowledge very often leads to deprivation of statutory entitlements and schematic benefits. -
Ground Water Year Book 2016-2017
Government of India CENTRAL GROUND WATER BOARD Ministry of Water Resources & Ganga Rejuvenation GROUND WATER YEAR BOOK 2016-2017 South Eastern Region Bhubaneswar September 2017 F O R E W O R D Groundwater is a major natural replenishable resource to meet the water requirement for irrigation, domestic and industrial needs. It plays a key role in the agrarian economy of the state. Though richly endowed with various natural resources, the state of Orissa has a long way to go before it can call itself developed. Being heavily dependent on rain fed agriculture; the state is very often exposed to vagaries of monsoon like flood and drought. The importance of groundwater in mitigating the intermittent drought condition of a rain-fed economy cannot be overemphasized. To monitor the effect caused by indiscriminate use of this precious resource on groundwater regime, Central Ground Water Board, South Eastern Region, Bhubaneswar has established about 1606 National Hydrograph Network Stations (NHNS) (open / dug wells) and 89 purpose built piezometres under Hydrology Project in the state of Orissa. The water levels are being monitored four times a year. Besides, to study the change in chemical quality of groundwater in time and space, the water samples from these NHNS are being collected once a year (Pre-monsoon) and analysed in the Water Quality Laboratory of the Region. The data of both water level and chemical analysis are being stored in computers using industry standard Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) like Oracle and MS SQL Server. This is very essential for easy retrieval and long-term sustainability of data. -
