Bore / Tube well yields ranging from 50 lpm to 600 lpm Annual recharge is 20,789 MCM and the dynamic groundwater availability is 18882 MCM ( 9582 MCM in Command basins and 9300 MCM in Non basins) Annual draft for all uses is 7,007 MCM (2168 MCM in Command area and 4839 MCM in area) Agriculture use followed by domestic and industrial use Over Exploration in Non – Command areas leading to depletion of groundwater levels and underutilization in Command area leading to water logging and other quality problems. a State with 940 kms. of Coast length (2nd in the country) is facing groundwater quality problems. Not only saline problems in Coastal areas but also having Geo-genic quality problems like fluoride and other problems
