Explanation :
- On the basis of the recommendations of the 12th Plan Working Group on Sustainable Groundwater Management of the erstwhile Planning Commission (now NITI Aayog), the ambitious National Aquifer Mapping and Management Programme (NAQUIM) was launched in 2012, with CGWB as the executing body.
Aim
- To cover more than 25 million square kilometres that have been delineated hydrogeologically mappable.
Key Points
- One of the major objectives of NAQUIM is to promote participatory groundwater management. This can be achieved by empowering communities with a seamless flow of information and understanding of local aquifers.
Structurally there are four stages of activities in NAQUIM-
- Collection, compilation and analysis of existing data. Based on the data requirement protocol, data gaps are identified;
- The required data is then generated in data gap areas/domains through an array of scientific investigations;
- Integration of data, developing lithologic models and configuring aquifers. The hydraulic properties, resource behaviour, water level regime and chemical quality is established in space-time domain;
- Various supply and demand side interventions are worked out and recommended to sustainably use groundwater. Here, local issues are also addressed.
