Madhya Pradesh GW

The Madhya Pradesh Ground Water Agency, overseen by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), is responsible for monitoring and managing groundwater resources in the state. The agency conducts regular assessments of groundwater resources and provides data to guide sustainable water management practices. Its annual reports, such as the "Madhya Pradesh Ground Water Year Book 2022–2023," offer detailed insights into the groundwater situation, highlighting regional trends, resource availability, and aquifer conditions. Furthermore, the agency is actively involved in groundwater level monitoring across various districts, tracking seasonal and annual fluctuations to inform policy and planning.

The state faces challenges in balancing water availability with usage, with some areas categorized as over-exploited or semi-critical. For instance, several districts like Dhar and Badnawar have shown high levels of groundwater development, indicating stress on local aquifers.
