Mission Kakatiya Scheme:

Under Impact studies on Mission Kakatiya Scheme, the department has been monitoring groundwater levels regularly from 15 observation wells selected in the influence and non- influence zones of three tanks at Appalai Cheruvu of Railapur village, Pedda Cheruvu of Ravalkole village and Patel Kunta of Rajabollaram Tanda of Medchal Mandal to analyse the impact of ground water levels.  

Water Quality:

Ground Water Department has been preparing water quality reports for pre-monsoon (May) and post-monsoon (November) periods every year duly collecting water samples from observation wells and Piezometers.

Groundwater Resources Estimations Committee:

In Medchal – Malkajgiri District Groundwater Resource Estimations (2019-20) have been carried out on the basis of water shed concept and assessed the net ground water availability, utilization and balance resources for future.

Groundwater availability   :   9376.29 Ha.m.

Groundwater utilization     :  5763.44 Ha.m.

Balance Groundwater        :   3612.92 Ha.m.

Stage of Development        :      61% (Safe)     

Approval is awaited from CRD, TS, Hyderabad.

Purpose Driven Study (PDS):

Purpose Driven Study (PDS) is being taken up on “Impact of Urbanization in Groundwater Quality and Quantity and its Management in GHMC, Hyderabad”. Medchal-Malkajgiri, Rangareddy, Hyderabad and some part of Sangareddy covered in this project.The mandals covered under this study are Alwal, Quthbullapur, Balanagar, Kukatpally, Malkajgiri, Kapra and Uppal. 53 Observation wells fixed in these mandals and monitoring is being carried out monthly and water samples are being collected in pre-monsoon (May) and Post-Monsoon (November) to study the Pre-Project Scenario.

Awareness Raising Activity:

Under National Hydrology Project conducted awareness programme on water conservation among farmers at Laxmapur village of Mudchintalpalli mandal.

Construction of Artificial Recharge Structures:

In Chief Ministers assured villages of Laxmapur and Keshavaram of M.C. Pally Mandal (formerly Shamirpet Mandal) constructed 31 Artificial Recharge Shafts near Cheruvus, Check Dams and Kuntas for quick recharge of ground water. 35 Observation wells were fixed near Artificial Recharge Shafts and monitoring is being carried out monthly to analyze the impact of ground water levels.
