2. Ground Water Assessment
|
Estimation of groundwater resource at village level bi-annually with available data from concern Department. |
| 3. Investigations |
1. Selection of Wells sites: The department takes up integrated hydro geological and Geophysical investigations for selection of well sites referred by various government organizations viz Scheduled castes Co-operative society, Scheduled Tribes Society and Non-Government organizations and individuals.
