PLAN ON
Gurdaspur district is located in the northern most part of the Punjab state. It shares the boundary
with Jammu & Kashmir state and Himachal Pradesh. The district is bounded by river Ravi and
Beas . It has a unique characteristic of sharing the international boundary with Pakistan and
river
Ravi is separating the district from Pakistan , Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala, Pathankot and Amritsar
are situated on the Eastern , Southern, Northern and Western side of the district respectively .
It covers an area of 3513 km2 and forms a part of upper Bari Doab area. Physiographically the
area is divided into three units (i) Siwalik Hills lying in NE of the district (ii) Kandi Zone lying
immediately south west of foothill zone of Siwalik hills(iii) Alluvial plains lying SW of Kandi.
HYDROGEOLOGY
The main aquifer group of the area is thick granular zones alternate with thick or thin clay lenses.
The fresh aquifer is water table and extends all over the area is composed of coarser sediments .
In the north eastern and northern part , there are 5-6 aquifers within 300m depth and ranges in the
thickness from 20-65 m . These granular zones are laterally extensive in nature and composed of
medium to coarse sands with gravel and pebbles cobbles etc. The clay beds area 5-12 m thick.In
the central part 5-6 prominent granular zones have been encountered within the depth of
375m bgl . The thickness of granular zones is variable from 20-95m and the clay beds vary from
3-14m thick. Water levels of the area in pre monsoon period varies from 2.39 (Khani Khui) to 18-
93 .In the same way the post monsoon water levels are variable from 1.70m (Behrampur) to
16.76(Sri Hargobindpur). It shows that there is extensive recharge by Ravi and Beas during
monsoon.
As per the data available from minor irrigation census 2006-07 the detailed number of shallow,
deep, tubewells, lined, unlined water distribution system, land holdings of wells are given below for
reference
Number of Ground Water Schemes and Potential Utilized by water distribution device
In this plan 2 types of the recharge structures are proposed such as Roof Top Rain water harvesting in rural & urban
areas and Recharge pits in agriculture lands of 5mt x 5mt x 3mt size. The pit will be surrounded by angle irons and barbed
fencing. The size and depth depend on the availability of the land. The extra water available on the field will be stored in the pit
and that will also be recharged to the ground water. A summery outline of the artificial recharge plan for the entire district
of each block is given at the beginning in tabular forms. This is followed by the salient features of each block along with
the detailed structure-wise recharge plan and cost estimates.
Details of the block wise type of suitable recharge structures and volume of water assured for annual recharge for each block,
schematic design of recharge structures are annexed at annexure I & II.
This plan is focusing on the technical aspects of the ground water recharge through various means so that various implementing
agencies may get the appropriate technical guidelines. The existing/ongoing schemes of the central or state govt. like
MANERGA, IWSP, PMKVY, NABARD funded schemes, Urban Development schemes, departmentally funded projects etc.
may be benefitted from the recharge plan by incorporating the input in the operational guidelines/ design and for locating the
specific sites.
Agriculture university, engineering Collages, Academic and Research Institution, NGO may also take up the pilot or
demonstrative projects in the blocks suitable to them to plan at local level as per local conditions.
