The rise (compared to decadal Average of OCTOBER (2010-2019)) > 2 m in 31 Piezometers observed in all Mandals. During OCTOBER-2020 as compared to OCTOBER-2019 there is an increase in area of Shallow water level (<5m) by~2289 km2 (~36%). Estimated dynamic change in groundwater storage during the season (up to October 2020) is at 32 TMC in comparison with May-20 water levels. During the month (October-2020) there is a net increase of ~ 8 TMC in groundwater.
