Preface

Groundwater has emerged as the preferred water source and poverty

reduction tool in India’s rural areas due to its near universal availability, dependability and low

capital cost. It has made significant contributions to the growth of India’s Economy and

has been an important catalyst for its socio economic development. Its importance as a precious

natural resource in the Indian context can be gauged from the fact that more than 85 %

of India’s rural domestic water requirements, 50 % of its urban water requirements and more

than 50 % of its irrigation requirements are being met from ground water resources.

The increasing dependence on ground water as a reliable source of water has re-

sulted in its large-scale and often indiscriminate development in various parts of the country,

without due regard to the recharging capacities of aquifers and other environmental factors. The

unplanned and non-scientific development of ground water resources, mostly driven by

individual initiatives has led to an increasing stress on the available resources. The adverse

impacts can be observed in the form of long-term decline of ground water levels, de-saturation

of aquifer zones, increased energy consumption for lifting water from progressively deeper

levels and quality deterioration.

Central Ground Water Board has taken up task of Aquifer Mapping and Ground

Water Management Plan under NAQUIM in the state of Uttar Pradesh with an objective to (i)

Delineation and characterization of aquifers in three dimensions (ii) Identification and

quantification of issues and (iii) Development of management plans to ensure sustainability of

ground water resources. Under the initiative, management plans for each aquifer system are

being prepared suggesting various interventions to optimize ground water withdrawal and

identifying aquifers with portable groundwater for drinking purpose in quality affected areas.

The management options also includes identification of feasible area for artificial recharge to

ground water and water conservation which help in arresting declining water levels besides

demand side management option including crop diversification, increasing water use

efficiency etc.

The sincere efforts of Sh. Sujatro Ray Chowdhuri, Scientist-B, Central Ground

Water Board, Northern Region, Lucknow is highly appreciated. I am sure that these aquifer

maps and Ground Water Management Plan of AmbedkarNagar district would be of immense

help in formulating scientifically viable implementable strategies for efficient management of

ground water resources ensuring sustainability.

AQUIFER MAPPING AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

AMBEDKARNAGAR DISTRICT, U.P. (A.A.P.: 2020-21)

By:

Sujatro Ray Chowdhuri, Scientist-B

([email protected])

1. Introduction District’s most of the requirement for Irrigation, Industrial and Domestic purposes

are being extracted from Ground Water. Although the ground water was in use since the

ancient times, but with the population explosion, multi cropping practices in agriculture sector

and rapid industrial development including hotel industry have profoundly enhanced the need

of water in the district. In recent time the dependency on ground water has increased manifold

for socio-economic and agricultural development of the region to a great extent on easily

availability with low capital cost. Though the distrct lies in least problematic area of Uttar

Pradesh, but 96% dependency on ground water for irrigation and 100% dependency in

Industrial and Domestic purposes leads the importance about exploration and management of

its Ground Water Resources.. The unplanned and unscientific development in various parts of

the district has lead to stress on the availability of ground water resources which needs proper

management. Presently many agencies are working to solve the water supply problems of

Uttar Pradesh. With the changing socio-economic and agrarian scenario, and with a view to

cope the challenges of drinking water supply, the concept of aquifer mapping and ground water

management has developed. Therefore, it is imperative to generate an accurate and

comprehensive micro-level picture of ground water through aquifer mapping in different

hydrogeological environment. It would enable robust ground water management plans in an

appropriate scale. Aquifer mapping is a process where in a combination of geological,

geophysical, hydrological and chemical field and laboratory analysis are applied to

characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of ground water in aquifers. This would

help achieving drinking water security, improved irrigation facility and sustainability in

ground water resources development in the district.

Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) implemented the National Aquifer Mapping

Programme in AmbedkarNagar district, Uttar Pradesh with broad objective of preparing an

aquifer wise and block wise management plan for the district. The present report is based upon

the integration of existing data of CGWB & various Departments of State Government during

A.A.P. 2020-21. The report prepared on “Aquifer Mapping and Management Plan,

AmbedkarNagar District, U.P.” will be very useful for the planners and various executive

agencies engaged in the development and management of ground water for agricultural,

industrial and drinking purposes.

1.1. Objective

The AmbedkarNagar district has an agricultural based economy; about 70% of its total

area is under cultivation. The rural population of the district mainly depends upon agriculture

resources for their livelihood. Assured irrigation is one of the most essential factors for

obtaining the optimal agriculture yield. Most of the gross irrigated areas are dependent upon

Ground Water. Hence, the ground water is playing a vital role in the irrigation. Also ground

water is the most dependable source of water supply therefore it is also extensively used for

domestic, drinking and industrial use. Consequently the exploitation of ground water is

increasing rapidly with time and resulting depletion in water level in some of the blocks. Old

fashion and conventioanal way of irrigaton leads to huge exploitation if ground water

resources.

The broad objective of the study

1. To derive the major utilization of ground water in different sectors

2. To establish the geometry of the underlying aquifer systems in horizontal and vertical

domain and to determine their hydrogeologic properties

3. To establish quality of ground water (Aquifer Wise)

4. Derivation of total dynamic and static ground water resources (Aquifer Wise)

5. To establish block wise and district wise Management plan

6. To upload blockwise and district report in AIMS portal of CGWB

1.2. Scope of Study

The scope of the present study is broadly outlined within the framework of National

Aquifer Management Programme (NAQUIM) being implemented by CGWB. In the present

report an effort has been made to consider the four major activities viz

1. Data collection / compilation- Compilation includes collection of data and maps

from concerned Agencies, such as the Survey of India, Geological Survey of India, State

Ground Water Department, U.P. Jal Nigam, Revenue Department., computerization and

analysis of all acquired data and preparation of a data base.

2. Data gap analysis- Identification of Data Gap included ascertaining requirement for

further data generation in respect of hydrometeorological, hydrogeological, geophysical &

chemical studies.

3. Data generation- Data generation includes those of hydrometeorological, soil

infiltration, and sub-surface geophysics, chemical quality of ground water, lithologs and

aquifer parameters. Generation of ground water chemical quality data was accomplished by

collection of water samples and their laboratory analysis for all major parameters and heavy

metals. Sub-surface geophysical studies are incorporated borehole logging. The data pertaining

to sub-surface lithology and aquifer parameters are obtained through studies of lithological logs

of exiting exploratory wells, pumping tests and their analysis.

4. Preparation of aquifer maps and management plan- by using several GIS and

Modelling softwares, establish aquifer maps and other GIS Layers, their interpretation and

sustainable management plan of the district for future time. Compilation of all the

interpretations and publication as a form of report. Sharing of the report to grasswood level and

various state govt agencies for implementation.

Plate 2: Geomorphology Map, AmbedkarNagar Distrct, UP

Drainage:

The district has well developed drainage system which is mainly controlled by the river

Ghaghara and its tributaries. Northern and North-Eastern boundary of the district demarketed

by River Ghaghara. All the rivers are mainly flowing in accordance with the general slope of

the land surface viz. northwest to southeast. Tons River, a tributary of Ghaghara, also flows in

the mid zone of the district, across the Bhiti, Katehri, Akbarpur, Jalalpur and Bhiyaon Blocks.

Good canal, small tributaries and drainage systems found in all the blocks.


11

Plate 3: Drainage Map, AmbedkarNagar District, UP

1.10. Soil Characteristics

The soils of the area exhibits great variance mainly due to the influence of different

rivers and variation in the provenance of the sediments. On the basis of constitution, physical

& chemical properties and texture, the soils may be classified broadly into the Sandy, Fine,

Fine Loamy and Loamy Skeletal type.

1.11. Land Use

Economy of the district mainly governs by agricultural activity, hence most of the area of the

distrct are Agricultural Land with some patches of urban/ settlements. Other that this, inland

wetland is present in Tanda Block and some Scrubland, Ponds and Plantation found in all the

blocks.

Depth to bottom of Aquifer Group I and depth to top of Aquifer Group II Map of the district

interpretes Aquifer Group I exists upto shallow depth in Eastern Part of the districts, similarly

Aquifer Group II starts in shallow depth in this part. Whereas depth of existence of Aquifer

Group I increases towards West and maximum at Western portions in the blocks Akbarpur,

Tanda, Katehri and part of Jalalpur, similarly Aquifer Group II ocuurs from deeper depth in

this part.

Interestingly the aquifer percentage (Total granular zone thickness/ Aquifer Group thickness)

map of Aquifer Group I of district reveals lower aquifer percentage (60-70%) in western part

of the district and relatively higher Aquifer Percentage in the Eastern Part. Means mor thin

layers of Clay inbetween sand zones found in Western Part of the District. Block wise details

2.1.3. Aquifer Parameters

Pumping tests were conducted in the exploratory wells to determine the aquifer parameters

such as T and S. Due to lack of pumping units, tests were not conducted in all the EWs of the

Ambedkarnagar District. Strategically two wells were choosen tapping different aquifers to

determine the aquifer wise characteristics

Aquifer Group I

Throughout the district, it has been observed that a 10-15m clay layer occurs in between 40-60

mbgl depth. That clay horizon devides the aquifer group-I in unconfined and semiconfined

part. The wells tapped in aquifer group I are below 60m depth for fulfillment of economic and

future demand. Thus aquifer parameters determined below reflects the aquifer parameters of

the aquifer group-I below 60 m depth (semiconfined condition). Overall the aquifer group I has

a potential to yield 2000-3000 LPM discharge.

2.1.4. Depth to Water Level Maps

The water level data recorded during the pre and post-monsoon periods for the year

2020 from the Water Level Monitoring Stations (N.H.S.-Dug Wells / Piezometers, Total

No.58) of CGWB and GWD, U.P. have been taken into consideration. All the block-wise depth

to water level data have also been analysed.

Plate 24: Depth to Water level Map, Pre-Monsoon 2020

During pre-monsoon period depth to water level in Shallow / Phreatic aquifers varies

from 0.70 to 14.10 mbgl. The depth to water level is comparatively shallower (0-5 mbgl) in

part of Tanda, Bhiti and Akbarpur Blocks. Water Level becomes deeper from North to South

of the district. Southern portion of the blocks of Bhiti, Akbarpur, Jalalpur, Bhiyaon and whole

-jahangirganj block shows range of water level from 7-10 mbgl with some part of Jalalpur

Block upto 14mbgl.


32

Plate 25: Depth to Water Level Map, Post Monsoon 2020

During post-monsoon period depth to water level varies from 0.20 to 6.80 mbgl. Mostly

in all the blocks, post monsoon water level varies from 0-5 mbgl. In some patches of Jalalpur

Block and Akbarpur Block, water level varies from 5-7 mbgl in phreatic aquifer.

2.1.5. Water Level Fluctuation

The seasonal rise in depth to water level varies from 0.1 to 6.6 meters during 2020.

Maximum rise in water level in the year 2020 occurred in the Jahangirhanj, Bhiyaon and in

southern part of Bhiti Blocks. Mostly Eastern Part of the district (Tanda, Bhiti, Akbarpur,

Katehri) have shown 0-4 m rise in water level in post monsoon period in compare to pre

monsoon. 4-7 m rise in post monsson water level observed in the Western Part of the district

ie., Jahangirganj, Bhiyaon, Ramnagar, Baskhari, Jalalpur Blocks.

4. Ground Water Resource

4.1. Dynamic Ground Water Resource Estimation (As on March, 2020)- Aquifer Gr-I

The main source of ground water recharge in the district is rainfall and the other sources

of recharge are Canal Seepages, return seepages from irrigation and infiltration from Lakes,

Ponds etc. The block wise recharge of ground water through rainfall has been estimated by the

methodology of GEC-2015 as follows:-

(i) Estimation of rainfall recharge by Adhoc Norm Method.

(ii) Estimation of rainfall recharge by Water Fluctuation Method.

The ground water recharge through rainwater during the monsoon period has been

estimated as per the above mentioned methods separately and the values thus obtained are

compared for each block. Final values have been adopted on the following criteria.

(a) If the, Percentage Difference (PD) is greater than or equal to –20% and less than or

equal to +20%, the rainfall recharge is taken as obtained by the water table fluctuation

method.

(b) If the PD is less than –20%, the rainfall recharge is taken as equal to 0.80 times the

value obtained by the rainfall infiltration factor (Adhoc-Norm Method).

(c) It PD is greater than +20%, the rainfall recharge is taken as equal to 1.2 times of the

value obtained by the rainfalls infiltration factor method.

4.1.1. Ground Water Recharge Components

A Rainfall Recharge Estimation by Water Table Fluctuation Method:

This method is based on the water balance approach, so it may also be referred as

“Ground Water Balance Method”. The block wise average water table fluctuation for the entire

district has been calculated for the study year. The ground water recharge has been estimated

taking into account the block wise specific yield. In these block wise recharge values, the values

of monsoon ground water draft have been added, and the values of recharge by other sources

during monsoon have been subtracted. Subsequently the block wise values of rainfall recharge

have been normalized by taking into account the rainfall of the year and the Normal rainfall.

In this way the Net ground water recharge only by the rainfall has been estimated by this

method.

B Ground Water Recharge by Other Sources:

The recharge by other sources mainly includes canal seepages, return flow from surface

and ground water irrigation and infiltration from lakes, ponds and surface reservoirs. The

recharge from other sources in the district for monsoon is 13136.81 ham and for non-monsoon

is 22147.49 ham, hence the total annual recharge from the other sources is 35284.3 ham.

(a) Recharge from Irrigation Water applied by Surface Water Irrigation:

The recharge by surface water irrigation has been derived by taking into account the

return flow factor of 40% for monsoon crops (Kharif) and 30% for non-monsoon crops (Rabi).

The quantity of irrigation water released in the distributaries canal system has been taken from

the irrigation department and ground water department U.P.

(b) Recharge from Irrigation Water Applied by Ground Water Irrigation:


43

The recharge from irrigation water applied by ground water irrigation is the sum of 45%

gross ground water draft during monsoon period and 25% gross ground water draft during non-

monsoon period.

(c) Recharge from Canal Seepage:

The estimation of recharge by the seepage from canal system has been computed by

utilizing the block wise lengths of main canal, branch canal, distributory and minor canal

segments. The other factors utilized are wetted perimeter area, number of days the canal

segment is in operation during monsoon & non-monsoon seasons, and the seepage factor of

wetted area.

(d) Recharge from Lakes, Ponds and Tanks:

Blockwise recharge estimated under this head has been carried out by taking into

account the total water spread area for the year under such structures, number of days water is

available during monsoon & non-monsoon seasons, and the infiltration factor.

C Rainfall Recharge Estimation by Adhoc Norm or Rainfall Infiltration Factor (RIF)

Method:

The rainfall recharge by this method has been estimated separately for monsoon non-

monsoon seasons on the basis of blockwise normal rainfall and rainfall infiltration factor.

D Determination of Annual Rainfall Ground Water Recharge:

The rainfall recharge during monsoon season has been estimated block wise separately

by water table fluctuation, and Rainfall Infiltration Factor (RIF) methods. The values arrived

by both the methods have been compared block wise and then any one has been adopted on the

Percentage of Difference (PD) criteria of 2015 norm. Whereas, the non-monsoon rainfall

recharge values have been computed only by the Rainfall Infiltration Factor Method. The

recharge from Rainfall in the district for monsoon is 51627 ham and for non-monsoon is 388

ham, hence the total annual recharge from Rainfall is 54384.47 ham.

Total Annual Ground Water Recharge:

The Total Annual Ground Water Recharge of the district is 80402.51 ham which has been

arrived by adding the annual rainfall recharge and annual recharge from other sources.

Net Annual Ground Water Availability:

The Net Annual Ground Water Availability in the district is 73340 ham which has been

arrived by subtracting the provision for natural discharge from the total annual ground water

recharge. The provision for natural discharge has been taken as 10% of the total annual ground

water recharge.

4.1.2. Ground Water Draft/ Extraction:

The block wise estimation of ground water draft has been done on the basis of the actual

number of different ground water exploitation structures & their unit draft values.. The gross

annual draft for the domestic and industrial has been calculated from extrapolated population

on March, 2020 and per capita water requirements. In the entire district, the estimated gross

annual draft for irrigation is 83464.26 ham, and gross annual draft for domestic and industrial

purpose is 6169.59 ham. Thus the estimated gross annual draft for all uses accounts for

89633.85 ham., which is 107.53% of the net annual ground water availability.

4.1.3. Stage of Ground Water Extraction:

The block wise determination of the present level of ground water Extraction has been

done on the basis of the percentage ratio between the net annual availability of ground water

and present gross annual ground water Extarction for all uses. Thus the present level of ground

water Extraction is maximum (78.87%) in Jalalpur Block, and minimum (50.44%) in Tanda

block.

4.1.4. Net Annual Ground Water Availability for all Future Uses: This component for the study area has been estimated block wise on the basis of net

annual availability and gross annual draft of ground water for all purposes. Thus the net annual

ground water availability for all future uses has been estimated 27217 ham and allocation of

GW for domestic purposes on 2025 as 6671 ham.

4.1.5. Categorization of Blocks As per GEC-2015 norms, assement units categorized based on Stage of GW Extraction

(SOGE). If , 1. SOGE <=70%, Safe, 2. SOGE >70% and <=90%, Semicritical, 3.SOGE >90%

and <=100%, Critical, 4. >100%, Over-Exploited

In AmbedkarNagar District, out of 9 blocks, in 8 blocks (Bhiti, Akbarpur, Katehri, Tanda,

Ramnagar, Baskhari, Jahangirhanj and Bhiyaon), SOGE is <=70%, hence categorized as

“SAFE” asper GWRE-2020. One block, Jalalpur have SOGE >70% and <=90%, hence

Categorized as “Semi-Critical”.

So in summary, out of the total 9 blocks, 8 blocks are in Safe Category and 1 block is in “Semi-

Critical” category.

4.2. Static/ In Storage Ground Water Resources (Shallow Aquifer/ Aquifer Group-I)

The Static / In storage Ground Water Resource has been estimated for district by using

the sub-surface data of exploratory tube wells constructed by CGWB and State agencies for

evaluating the average thickness of granular zones. The static resource of the Aquifer Group I

has been calculated by the following steps

1. The depth of the bottom of Aquifer Group I determined from the geophysical log of the

exploratory wells. Then the depths are plotted in ArcGIS software for Inverse Distance Method.

The block wise average value of the depth of bottom of Aquifer Group I has been determined.

2. From the lithology and geophysical logs, the sand and clay zones studied separately. Aquifer

Percentage of the Aquifer Group I has been determined by (Total thickness of sand zone/ Total

Thickness of the Aquifer Gr-I). Then aquifer % were plotted in ArcGIS software to derive the

blockwise average Aquifer %.

3. As below 50m of the Aquifer Group-I, aquifer exists in semiconfined nature, hence Specific

Yeild of the Aquifer Group-I taken as 10% and Storaitivity of the aquifer group I below 50m

depth taken as 1.15*10-4 (data derived from pumping test data analysis)

4. Static Resource of the Aquifer GrI derived as follows

Static Resource= [Area* (50- Avg. pre-monsoon WL)*Aquifer %*Sp. Yield] + [Area*(depth

of the bottom of Aquifer Group I-50)*Aquifer %* storaitivity]

The total static / in storage ground water resource Aquifer Group I of the district is 458956.1

ham or 4.58 BCM, which may be used only under specific conditions (for drinking and

domestic purposes) to avoid the imbalance in ground water regime.

4.3. Static/ In Storage Ground Water Resources (Aquifer Group-II)

Aquifer Group II in the districts exists as confined condition and CGWB, NR have derived

its aquifer parametes by tapping exploratory wells in oarticularly the aquifer group II zones.

The static resource of the Aquifer Group I has been calculated by the following steps

1. The depth of the top of Aquifer Group II determined from the geophysical log of the

exploratory wells. Then the depths are plotted in ArcGIS software for Inverse Distance Method.

The block wise average value of the depth of top of Aquifer Group II has been determined.

2. The Aquifer Group II is under confined condition, thus storaitivity of the Aquifer Group II

derived from pumping test data analysis as 2.36*10-4.

5. Ground Water Related Problems The following Ground Water related issues and problems have been identified in the

district viz.

1. Depletion of the water level pf shallow aquifer / Aquifer Group I . Decadal Ground Water

Level trend analysis reveals that in most of the blocks, water level declined.

2. Depletion of water level in the Akbarpur City area at a rate 27-33 cm/year over the last 10

years.

3. Huge Extraction of GW for irrigation purposes. Total 86% of the extracted ground water is

used for irrigation purposes only.

4. Concentration of Fe above permissible limit in all the blocks of the district.

5. Sporadic distribution of As in aquifer group I in parts of Jalalpur, Bhiyaon and Baskhari

Block

6. Mn and Uranium above permissible limit in 2 villages of Ramnagar block.

7. Stage of GW Extraction above 70% and significant decline in Water Level of Jalalpur Block.

8. Limited availability of confined aquifers (Aquifer Group II) in Bhiti and Katehri Blocks.

9. Conventional irrigation practices (specially flood irrigation) in all the blocks.

10. Total load of GW Extraction of the district in Aquifer Group I.

6. Ground Water Management Strategies

Block wise management plan is prepared considering the present water level, water

level trend category of the block and further prioritized the blocks for interventions. Eight

blocks of the district are categorized as safe, one block semi-critical and declining trend

of water level is recoded over the last ten years. Thus there is urgent need for taking up

suitable water management interventions based on integrated approach, which is one hand

includes augmentation of ground water resources through appropriate techniques, and on

the other hand requires the adoption of suitable water conservation measures, such as

ensuring water use efficiency through creation of additional water storage facility,

maintenance / renovation of existing water bodies etc. water awareness and capacity

building of the stakeholders are also the important attributes of water management

interventions as envisaged in the Nation Water Policy. Ground water issues can be addressed mainly by focusing on measures to increase

recharge and reducing the draft. It can be managed by a mix of measures such as supply

side and demand side management. Semi-critical Jalalabad block prioritized for

interventions are required.

6.1. Supply Side Management Interventions

It includes Artificial Recharge to ground water, Water conservation and On Farm

Activities to Increasing storage capacity and conservation of rainfall. Based on available

information about the area such as ground water scenario, hydrogeology, hydrology,

topography, rainfall pattern, drainage, soil cover, utilizable rainfall, etc., scope for various

interventions has been studied and assessment of suitable areas, tentative design and costs

of structures has been worked out. Table 19: Block wise Unit Draft Calculation, AmbedkarNagar District, UP

Artificial Recharge to ground water Recharge / Water Conservation Water conservation structures such as check dams, farm ponds, nala bunds, Stream

Development etc results in ground water recharge to the tune of about 50% of the

storage capacity considering 3 annual fillings. Further construction of recharge


55

trenches in the upstream side of the check dams is also proposed to enhance rate

of infiltration by about 30 to 40%.

The existing ponds and tanks lose their storage capacity as well as the natural ground

water recharge due to siltation and encroachment by farmers for agricultural purposes.

Through desilting, coupled with providing proper waste weir, the village tanks can be

converted into recharge structure.

Stream Development, desiltation of channel of nalas, canals and Small River for

increasing storage capacity of the stream and ground water recharge.

In supply side management interventions, structures and interventions are proposed

for behaviourial changes and to increase the recharge of ground water. In

Ambedkarnagar district, 1. Total 9 nos of check dams are proposed throughout the district, of 10,000 Cub.M

capacity of each check dams. The tentative locations are marked in location map. For

calculation of benefits, a total 3 filling in each year and 50% of the total storage

capacity is taken for supply in irrigation.

2. Total 9km of streame development/ desiltation of stream, nala and unlined canals

are proposed for increasing the storage capacity and GW recharge

3. Total 24 Nos of Nala bunds are proposed throughout the district of 7500 cub.m

capacity of each.

4. Total 24 ponds of 10,000 cub.m capacity of each proposed for desiltation of the

pond-bed.

All the proposed numbers of the interventions are based on the area of the blocks,

water level of the blocks, long term ground water trend and feasibility of the aquifer

to encorporate the extra amount of water within aquifer.

In Akbarpur City area, Rainwater Harvesting system can be implemented initially in

all the govt. buildings (school, office, colleges etc) by Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting

Technology.

6.2. Demand Side Management Interventions

It mainly includes adoption of techniques to enhance Water Use Efficiency for

reducing draft of ground water and on farm practices.

On Farm Practices Leveling of crop field is essential for uniform distribution of water. Laser leveling

has been found very effective ensuring saving of 10 to 30% of applied irrigation.

The in situ farm activities such as contour bunding, land leveling, bench terracing,

water harvesting structures, afforestation and diversification of cropping pattern

are other measures to increase recharge in the block.

Efficient Irrigation

In flood / furrow irrigation method more than 50% of applied water is wasted

through seepage to deeper level, localized inundation causes loss through evaporation and

it teaches out the nutrients from the plant. While through drip & sprinkler irrigation

wastage of irrigational water could be minimized. The conveyance losses (mainly seepage

& evaporation) can be saved upto 25 to 40% through utilization of HDPE pipes.

Scope for agricultural water savings by:

● Engineering measures: such as irrigation water distribution through low-

pressure pipes (instead of earth canals) and irrigation water application by drip and micro-

sprinkler technology

● Management measures: to improve irrigation water scheduling and soil

moisture management

● Agronomic measures: such as deep ploughing, straw and plastic mulching, and

the use of improved strains/seeds and drought-resistant agents.

If larger water savings are needed, then consideration should also be given to

changes in crop type and land use (e.g. through higher-value crops under greenhouse

cultivation or returning a proportion of the area to dryland cultivation of drought-resistant

crops). An even more radical option would be to place a ban on the cultivation of certain

types of irrigated crop in critical groundwater areas.

Conjuctive Use Water resource management strategy in which groundwater and surface water are

used in tandem, making use of the comparative advantages of both is termed conjunctive

use. Examples include:

● Use of surface water for inefficient flood irrigation to enhance aquifer recharge

in the wet season

● Use of groundwater in dry periods for irrigation to replace the normal surface

water supply currently, conjunctive use (where practiced) tends to have arisen more by

accident than design.

Use of Deeper Aquifer Water Akbarpur city have population 1.2 lakh asper cencus 2011. The extraction of

Ground Water for domestic purposes in the city area from Aquifer Group II by deep

tubewells of Jal Nigam will lead to savings of (120000*90 lpcd*365 days)= 3.94*109

Litre/year or 394 ham/year ground water extraction from shallow aquifer.

8. Conclusions The National Aquifer Management Programme (NAQUIM) has been implemented in the

AmbedkarNagar district by the CGWB (Northern Region, Lucknow) under AAP: 2020-21. The

AmbedkarNagar district occupies in the Eastern part of the Uttar Pradesh. The district is bounded

by the Sant. Ravidas Nagar and Basti district in the North, Gorakhpur and Azamgarh District is

the East, Sultanpur District in South and Ayodhya District in West.

The AmbedkarNagar district is divided into four (04) tehsils. The district is further sub-

divided into 9 developmental blocks ie, Bhiti, Katehri, Akbarpur, Jalalpur, Bhiyaon, Taanda,

Ramnagar, Jahangirganj and Baskhari. District Headquater is Akbarpur which has a good

coonectivity with city like Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Basti, Azamgarh, Sultanpur, Varanasi, and

Prayagraj by rail and roads.

Geomorphology of the district defined by the Older Alluvium Plain in most of the areas

with some patches of Younger Alluvium Plain along the River Ghagra. Other than this two type,

back swamp, cut off meander, ravines, point bar etc geomorphic features also present as a

sporadic distribution and along the paleo channels of Tons River.

The normal Rainfall of the district comprises to 1013.3 mm out of which average normal

monsoon rainfall is 904.8mm and non-monsoon rainfall is 108.5 mm. Monsoon season extends

from 1st week of June- Last week of September and around 89% of the total normal rainfall

contributed by Monson Rainfall.

Geology of the area defined by Fine-Medium Sand with intermittent clay, silt and clay

mixed with Kankar Layers. Surface soil is mainly loamy to fine loamy soil which induced good

penetration of rainfall and other recharges. In the Northern portion, bank of River Ghaghara and

both the flood plain of River Tons defined by younger alluvium consists of Gravel, Silt to Fine

Sand, sandy clay having good infiltration rate.

There are 3 major aquifer groups found with 2 intermittent clay horizons upto 300m depth.

Among which, Aquifer Group I is the youngest and phreatic/ shallow aquifer group partially in

semiconfined condition and Aquifer II and III are in confined condition separed from each other

by clay horizons.

During pre-monsoon period depth to water level in Shallow / Phreatic aquifers varies from

0.70 to 14.10 mbgl. The depth to water level is comparatively shallower (0-5 mbgl) in part of

Tanda, Bhiti and Akbarpur Blocks. Water Level becomes deeper from North to South of the

district. Southern portion of the blocks of Bhiti, Akbarpur, Jalalpur, Bhiyaon and whole -

jahangirganj block shows range of water level from 7-10 mbgl with some part of Jalalpur Block

upto 14mbgl.

During post-monsoon period depth to water level varies from 0.20 to 6.80 mbgl. Mostly

in all the blocks, post monsoon water level varies from 0-5 mbgl. In some patches of Jalalpur

Block and Akbarpur Block, water level varies from 5-7 mbgl in phreatic aquifer.

It has been observed from decadal long term ground water fluctuation that during

premonsoon time, average water level of all blocks declined at a rate 8.59 cm/year (Jamnagar

Block) to 50.5 cm/year. As maximum blocks decadal declining trend below 20cm/ year except

Jalalpur Block and Akbarpur City thus significant ground water decline trend not observed in 8

blocks. In jalalpur block, decadal water level declined at a rate 50.5cm/year and 32.99cm/year

for Akbarpur City which is characterised as significant decline.

During post monsson time, decadal trend reveals that in Tanda and Ramnagar block, water

level shown rising trend with 5.9 to 9.7 cm/ year. In other blocks, water level declined at a rate


65

5.18 (Katehri Block) to 33.98 (Jalalpur Block) cm/ year. In Jalalpur and Akbarpur Block, water

level declined at a significant rate (>20cm/year) during the period 2011-2020

Ground Water Quality parameters of the shallow aquifers are mostly within BIS:10500-

2012 permissible limit. The most ground water quality related issue is concentration of the Fe in

shallow aquifer in most of the blocks. Other than Fe, some sporadic distribution of Mn, As and

Uranium also observed in some location of Ramnagar and Jalalpur Block. Ground water quality

of Aquifer Group II is fresh and all the GW quality parameters are within the permissible limit

of BIS:10500-2012.

Asper Dynamiuc GW resources 2020 of the phreatic aquifer/ Aquifer Group-I, out of 9

blocks, 8 blocks are in Safe condition and only one block (Jalalpur) lies in Semi-Critical

condition. Total static resources of the Aquifer Group I calculated as 4.58 BCM and total static

resources of Aquifer Group II calculated as 5235.4 ham.

Though 8 blocks out of the 9 blocks are categorized as Safe but in view of the long term

ground water trend analysis, it has been observed that, GW level declined at a minutely. Thus to

restrict water level decline, behavioural change, value to ground water Maanagment plan of the

whole district and 9 blocks proposed in NAQUIM report. Total 11 Check dams, 24 Nala Bunds,

24 Ponds recommended for supply side management and total 36328 hectare agricultural area

recommended for Demand side management interventions. On successful implementation of the

management interventions, average stage of GW Extraction of the districts will decrese to 56%

from 62%.

9. Recommendations The following recommendations are made for the appropriate future ground water

development, utilization and management.

1. The wastage of rainwater in the form of surface run off needs to be reduced by adopting proper

rainwater harvesting techniques in akbarpur city area. By promoting water conservation in the

district ground water depletion and declining in water table may be checked.

2. Conjuctive use of surface and ground water in canal command area will decrease the extraction

of Ground Water in Monsoon season.

3. Construction of Tubewell by Jal Nigam for public water supply from Aquifer Group II or

deeper confined aquifers will lead to decrease the load of extraction from shallow aquifers.

4. Construction of check dams / nala bunds, Stream Development, revival / renovation of ponds,

on farm activities like laser leveling, bench terracing, construction of farm ponds, plantation of

forests etc should be promoted in the district

5. Water use efficiency through piped and pressurized irrigation (Drip & Sprinkler), furrow

irrigation with raised bed planting in wide row crops should be practiced.

6. Zone testing for construction of new Tubewell in Jalalpur and Ramnagar Blocks to demarket

the contaminated (Uranium, As and Mn) ground water quality zones.

7. Extensive Public Outreach Programme/ Public Interaction Programme with target group to the

Farmers, students and govt officers on ground water and quality issues.

8. Collaboration of CGWB or State govt Organization with Agricultural Research Institute for

Wate Efficiant Irrigation practises with more focus on DemandSide Management.

9. Implementation of the proposed Management Plan.

20. Microlevel Aquifer Management Plan of Gaura Kamal Village,

Jalalpur Block, AmbedkarNagar District, Uttar Pradesh

1. Introduction

Micro Level Aquifer Management Plans (MLMP) envisaged as groundwater management plan

based on aquifer disposition for village / Gram Panchayat .The idea of MLMP is to prepare

implementable groundwater management plan by proposing demand side and supply side

interventions at panchayat and village level that can be taken up by the state agencies / inhabitants

to improve groundwater conditions / sustainable management of groundwater resource at local

level.

Central Ground Water Board, Northern Region, Lucknow carried out National Aquifer Mapping

and Management (NAQUIM) Project under Annual Action Plan 2020-21. Under this project,

district-wise and block-wise aquifer disposition, aquifer properties, ground water quality

(aquiferwise), static and dynamic resource (aquiferwise) data collected. Based on those collected

data, blockwise and districtwise management plan prioposed.

Under MLMP, Gaura Kamal village of Semi-critical block (asper GWRE-2020) Jalalpur chosen.

Relevant data for MLMP was collected from the village on October-2020

2. Location

Gaura Kamal Village is situated in the South-Western part of the Jalalpur Block of

AmbedkarNagar District on Akbarpur-Bhiyaon Road. Location Map, Plate-1.

4. Hydrogeology

Gaura Kamal village lies in Central Ganga Alluvium Plain. On the basis of exploration in Jalalpur

Block of Ambedkarnagar district, 3 prominent aquifer groups found upto depth 300mbgl. The

aquifer group-I in Jalalpur Bock ranges from ground level to 109-137 mbgl with 61-77 aqufer %.

Out of the 3 aquifer groups, the first aquifer or Aquifer Group-I is the most promising ground

water potential in this area.

The premonsoon water level of this village is 11.4 mbgl and post monsoon water level is 6.4 mbgl

(based on 2020 data)

5. Ground Water Quality

The sample collected from Gaura Kamal Village, Jalalpur Block in Feb 2021 and analysed in

Regional Chemical Laboratory of CGWB, NR, Lucknow.

The water quality parameters of the shallow aquifer/ Aquifer Group-I as follows

6.2. Water Requirement for Irrigation Purposes

Unit Draft of the Jalalpur Block derived as 0.26 m. (Total GW extraction for irrigated area/ net

irrigated area) asper Ground Water Resource Estimation-2020

As Net Irrigated area in Gaura Kamal Village is 178 hectare, hence total extraction of ground

water for irrigation purposes for this village is 46.28 ham

6.3. Total Ground Water Requirement

Total Ground Water Requirement/ Extraction of Gaura Kamal Village is (4.02+46.28) = 50.30

ham/ year

7. Ground Water Management Strategies

7.1. Supply Side Management Interventions

It includes Artificial Recharge (AR) to Ground Water, Water Conservation to increase storage

capacity and conservation of rainfall. Asper the concept of Master Plan of Artificial Recharge-

2020, the 3.6% of Monsoon Rainfall is the Surplus available for AR.

7.2. Demand Side Management Interventions

It mainly includes adoption of techniques to enhance Water Use Efficiency for reducing draft of

ground water and on farm practices.

On Farm Practices

Leveling of crop field is essential for uniform distribution of water. Laser leveling has been

found very effective ensuring saving of 10 to 30% of applied irrigation water.

The in situ farm activities such as contour bunding, land leveling, bench terracing, water

harvesting structures, afforestation and diversification of cropping pattern are other measures

to increase recharge in the block.

Total 12.5 Hectare area (Marked in Plate 3) of the village proposed for implementation of On-

Farm Activities. The area ranges from Latitude 26.282600- 26.284841 and Longitude 82.759067-

82.759617.

Micro Irrigation

In flood / furrow irrigation method more than 50% of applied water is wasted through seepage to

deeper level, localized inundation causes loss through evaporation and it teaches out the nutrients

from the plant. While through drip & sprinkler irrigation wastage of irrigational water could be

minimized. The conveyance losses (mainly seepage & evaporation) can be saved upto 25 to 40%

through utilization of HDPE pipes

Total 16.4 Hectare area (marked in Plate 3) of the village in Northern Part of the village ranging

latitude 26.290946- 26.295767 and longitude 82.751186- 82.756984. Implementation of Micro

Irrigation will save 2.98 ham extraction of ground water (calculation based on 30% savings of

water)
