This report is prepared by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) as a guiding document to mainstream the approach of Water-Sensitive Urban Design and Planning (WSUDP) principles in the NCT of Delhi.

Conjunctive Water Management is an approach to water resources manage­ment in which surface water, groundwater and other components of the water cycle are considered as one single resource, and therefore are managed in closest possible coordination, in order to maximize overall benefits from water at the short and at the long term.

More than 75 per cent of Uganda’s population lives in rural areas and depends heavily on groundwater resources.

Ground Water Year Book is based on the information generated through field studies. The data has been analyzed by Officers of Central Ground Water Board, State Unit Office, Delhi and presented in the report.

The revised master plan for artificial recharge to groundwater has been made for the whole country at the level of district/Block. The plan is macro plan formulated to work out the feasibility of various structures for the different terrain conditions of the country and respective estimated cost.

To depict ground water scenario, water level is monitored during pre monsoon, during monsoon, post monsoon and post irrigation period with reference to spatial behaviour of ground water regime for each monitoring period, pre and post monsoon (seasonal), annual (corresponding period of preceding year) as well as changes with reference to last dec

Ground water is a dynamic and replenishable resource and monitoring spatial and temporal changes of this resource is essential for sustainable development and management. The water level data is of paramount importance in development and management of water resources in the country.
