Abstract
Water is the main element that affects the not only human being but also vegetation; animals etc. and plays a main role in the growth of any nation. It is used in all sectors of life i.e. agriculture, industry and household. Fast growing population, leads to rapid urbanization, industrialization and high agriculture intensity which have ultimately increased pressure on this valuable resource. Groundwater is the most precious natural resource of the earth and is of great importance in every facet of human life. It is the largest source of fresh water and is most widely distributed resource on the earth. Unlike any other mineral resource, it gets its annual replenishment mainly from precipitation and different sources like canal seepage, return from water applied for agriculture fields, seepage from ponds and water harvesting structure. Therefore it is very important to know about the availability of groundwater resources of an area.
