The district is endowed with vast natural resources and is one of the agriculturally developed districts of Odisha. The district is underlain by unconsolidated sedimentary alluvial formations ranging from quaternary to recent. Due to proximity to the sea and other geologic, many areas have turned in to saline. Managing the existing ground water resource is the prime challenge before the authority. The agrarian development of the district can be boosted by tapping this enormous ground water resources through dug wells, medium deep bore wells. The present stage of ground water development is only 23.79 %,leaving a vast scope for future ground water development in the district. Ground water irrigation practices can ensure increased agricultural production by enhancing the area irrigated and scope of irrigation. Apart from irrigation, drinking water scarcity can also be mitigated through the judicious utilization of ground water. Due to wide variation in hydrogeological set up in the district, the occurrence and distribution of aquifers are non-uniform and so also their yielding properties. Proper site selection holds the key to the success of sustainable ground water development, which requires a thorough knowledge of hydrogeology and the pattern of water usage in the terrain. Based on the available data and the earlier hydrogeological studies taken up in 11 blocks of the district viz. Astaranga, Bramhagiri, Delang, Gop, Kakatpur, Kanas, Krushnaprasad, Nimapara, Pipili, Puri Sadar, and Satyabadi covering an area of 3479 sq. km,an attempt has been made in this report to compile all relevant information, such as hydrogeological, agriculture, irrigation, land use, rainfall, the chemical quality of water, and other collateral data. Smt. Chirashree Mohanty, Scientist-‘C’, has compiled and prepared the present report on“Hydrogeological Framework, Ground Water Development Prospects & Aquifer Management Plan in PURI District, Odisha.”Her sincere efforts in preparation of the report will no doubt be very useful and benefit the state. It is hoped that it will be of immense help to different ground water user agencies, administrators, and planners in preparation for ground water development plans and will be a handy tool in the effective management of ground water resources in the district. Place: Bhubaneswar Date: July 2018 ( Dr. Utpal Gogoi) Regional Director iv HYDROGEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK, GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS &AQUIFER MANAGEMENT PLAN IN PARTS OF PURI DISTRICT, ODISHA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Central Ground water Board has taken up National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) program during the XIIth five year plan to carry out the integration of micro-level hydrogeological, geophysical, hydrochemical data and information on geology, geomorphology, soil, hydrometeorology, hydrology, landuse, cropping pattern, etc. on a GIS platform to formulate district, block or aquifer-wise Ground Water Management Plan. The formulation of a sustainable ground water management plan would help in achieving the demand for drinking, irrigation, and industrial need for water with minimal stress on the aquifer.The activities under NAQUIM are aimed at identifying the aquifer geometry, aquifer characteristics their yield potential along with the quality of water occurring at various depths, aquifer wise assessment of ground water resources, and development. Aquifer mapping itself is an improved form of groundwater management – recharge, conservation, harvesting, and protocols of managing groundwater. With these aims, Aquifer Mapping study was carried out in eleven blocks of PURI district in Odisha, namely, Astaranga, Bramhagiri, Delang, Gop, Kakatpur, Kanas, Krushnaprasad, Nimapara, Pipili, Puri Sadar and Satyabadi.Puri is one of the nine coastal alluvial districts of eastern Odisha, with a geographical area of 3,479 sq. km. About 84.3 percent of the population of the district lives in rural areas, and agriculture is the main stay of the people. Puri district lies between North Latitudes 19°28 and 20° 10 and East Longitude 85° 09 and 86°25, falling in Survey of India Degreesheet(1: 2,50,000 Scale) nos74 E, 73 H, 74I, 73L. It is bounded on the north by Jagatsinghpur and Cuttack district; on the east by the Bay of Bengal, on the south by Ganjam district, and on the west by Khurda district. The district has only one subdivision. There are 11 community development blocks in the district, with its district headquarters at Puri. The district is well connected by railways and roads and is about 60 kms from state capital Bhubaneshwar. All the block headquarters are connected by metalled roads.According to the 2011 census data, the total population of the district is 16,97,983 constituting 4.05 % of the total population and 2.33% of total land area of Odisha. The rural and urban populations are 14,32,537 and 2,65,446 respectively. The density of the population is 488 against the state figure of 270 persons per sq. km. Puri district falls in the Mahanadi river basin, and the main drainage is formed by the rivers Daya, Devi, Kushabhadra, Bhargavi, and Prachi, which have southerly, southeasterly and southwesterly courses. The other important surface water bodies in the district are Sar and Samang lakes. Another important water body in Chilika, which is a lagoon, separated long back from the Bay of Bengal. Puri district is covered by a well-developed irrigation network covered by Mahanadi Delta Stage-II canal systems.The net sown area in the district is 1,31,093 ha. The total cultivable land in the district is 1,88,745 Ha, out of which 1,05,106 Ha is irrigated. There are three crop seasons in the command area and two crop seasons in the non-command area. v HYDROGEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK, GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS &AQUIFER MANAGEMENT PLAN IN PARTS OF PURI DISTRICT, ODISHA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kharif crops are Paddy, Jute, Oilseeds, and Pulses, etc. The Rabi crops are Paddy, Gram, Pulses, Groundnut, Oilseeds, Mustard, Vegetables, and Potato, etc.
