- (a) Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) is periodically monitoring the ground water levels thr the country including urban areas on a regional scale, through a network of monitoring w November 2020, the depth to water level in the urban areas of the country ranged from less than 2. metres below ground level (mbgl) to more than 40.00 mbgl. Further, in a major part of the urban areas the country, the water level is in the range of 2.0 mbgl to 10.00 mbgl. In addition, deepe lev el (more than 40.00 mbgl) has also been observed in few urban areas. State - wise details in this regard are given in Annexure I.
- (b) & (c) In order to assess the annual change in water level, the data collected by CGWB in during  November  2020has  been  compared  with  the  November  2019.  Analysis  of  water  level indicates that about 51% of the wells monitored have registered decline in ground water lev the range of 0.0 -2.0 metre. Decline of more than 4.0 metre has also been obse rved in some of the cities. Further, rise in groundwater levels have also been observed in 48.6 % analysed wells out of which 39 % of the wells have registered rise in groundwater levels in the range of 0.0 - 2.0  metre.
