Shallow lines: city’s groundwater reality
The geology of Hyderabad and its surrounding areas is peculiar in the sense that the depth to which it can retain water is about 150 feet or a little more in certain pockets. Beyond 150 feet one hits bedrock which does not hold any groundwater, unless it has some fractures. Going deeper and deeper may give temporary benefits, but in the long run it will lower the water table.
