CGWB - Changes in Depth to Water Level
The Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) maintains a dataset that tracks changes in groundwater levels across India. This dataset includes measurements from thousands of observation wells, recorded multiple times a year since 1969. It provides valuable information on the fluctuations in the depth to groundwater, giving insights into seasonal and annual variations.

| Methodology | Groundwater levels are systematically and periodically monitored across India through a network of 22,965 observation wells. These wells are monitored four times annually—specifically in January, March/April/May, August, and November—to capture seasonal variations in groundwater levels effectively. Each well is geographically mapped and characterized by its longitude, latitude, basin, and sub-basin attributes. |
