- The various types of well drilling works are offered on different terrain based on scientific recommendation.
- The department undertakes drilling for irrigation by giving fifty percent subsidy and provides limited public water supply schemes with own funding.
- The works are supervised by qualified technical staff and is guaranteed with after care service and provide technical advice for pumping.
- The department also provides technical advice to site specific solution to artificial groundwater recharging projects to institutions and individuals free of cost.
- The physico-chemical parameters and bacteriological parameters of water samples are also tested in the regional water quality labs.
- The department is equipped with pumping test units and provides yield testing of wells to industrial, infrastructure projects and also for individuals and public water supply schemes.
- The staffs of the department are capable of imparting dissemination of knowledge through mass awareness programs, conducting trainings and workshops on various groundwater issues.
Research Facilities
During the last four decades department has generated lot of aquifer information through hydrogeological and geo-physical surveys, drilling of bore holes, monitoring of water levels and water quality assessments from observation well network in each district. Except the water quality and water level data all other raw data are available from each district offices for studies and research on various aspects of groundwater. The water level and water quality data are offered on pricing policy but researchers are eligible to avail fifty percent discount. Students from the research institutes, colleges and individuals can be a part of hydrologic data user group (HDUG) and avail water level and water quality data from the district centers for their research studies.
