GROUND WATER INFORMATION BOOKLET OFBOKARO DISTRICT, JHARKHAND

1.0 INTRODUCTION :- Bokaro district is a newly created

district carved out from Giridih and Dhanbad district. It is one of

the highly industrialized coal belt district in Jharkhand. Bokaro

distirct is bounded by Giridih in the North, Purulia (West Bengal)

in the South, Dhanbad in the east and Hazaribagh in the West.

The district is spread over 2861 Sq.Km lying between latitude

23 02427 to 23 0 5724 and East Longitude 85 03430 to

86 0

1.1 Administration :- The district headquarter is at Chas(Fig-1).

2910. It falls under Survey of India toposheet No. 73 E/9,

E/10, E/13, E/14, 73 I/1, I/2, I/5 and I/6.

2.0 RAINFALL AND CLIMATE :

2.1 Rainfall :- An average rainfall of the district is

1363.57mm. Each block has a rain gauge station. The maximum

rainfall is 1669.58mm in Chandan Kiyari Block and minimum in

Bermo block (1093.70mm). The normal rainfall of the district is

1185mm. The maximum rainfall occurs during the monsoon

months viz middle June to middle of October.

2.2 Climate :- The climate of Bokaro district is humid and sub

tropical. It is characterized by hot and dry summer from March,

to October and cold winter from November to February.

Humidity is high from July to September. The mean annual

humidity is nearly 60%. In Summer the temperature rises to

42 0 46 0 C.


11/29

3.2 Soil Types :- The soils of Bokaro district can be broadly

grouped into the soil developed in different formations like

Granite or Granite Gneiss of Archean age, sandstone and

shales of Gondwana Formation and Alluvial Plain.

Texturally the soils of Bokaro district have been classified into

four classes as :-

a) Stony and Gravelly : These are low grade soils

having an admixture of cobbles, pebbles and gravels,

generally found at the base of the hills.

b) Sandy Soils : It is found near the stream beds

containing 60% sand and are easily drained. These are

poor in respect of fertility and requires heavy manuring.

c) Loamy Soils : These consists mostly of detritus of

4.0 Ground Water Scenario

4.1 Hydrogeology :- Groundwater in the district is mainly

replenished by the atmospheric precipitation. Influent seepages

from canal, streams and other surface water bodies, also

contribute to the groundwater in the district. The

hydrogeological condition of the district is very complicated due

to vide variability of geology, topography, drainage and mining

activity. Hydrogeological map is presented in Fig-3. The district

of Bokaro can be sub divided broadly into two hydrogeological

units :-

a) Fissured Formation

b) Porus Formation or Unconsolidated Formation

Based on the degree of consolidation the fissured formation


13/29

Unconsolidated Formation : It occupies the low laying area

covered with recent alluvium deposited mainly by Damodar,

Konar and Jamunia rivers. The ground water occurs in these

areas under water table condition.

4.1.1 Exploratory Wells :- 5 Nos. of exploratory wells were

drilled in the district (Table -2), the available data reveal 1 2

nos of fractures zones up to the depth of 150.00 mbgl. The static

water level in the borewells varies from 3.18 to 6.30 mbgl. The

exploratory wells at Mandiha and ChandanKiyari are having

discharge of 7600 cph. The discharge at Goladih is very low.

4.1.2 Depth to Water Level :- CGWB has established 7 no. of

network of observation wells for monitoring of groundwater level

to know the behaviour of groundwater regime in the district.


14/29

eastern part of the district.Pre & Post monsoon water level map

is presented in Fig-4 & Fig-5 respectively.

4.1.3 Water Level Trend :- Rainy season is the only recharge period

in the Bokaro district. Most observation wells show rising trend

in the district. These are the localized rising patches in the area.

The observation well at Jaina More is showing minimum (0.078

m/yr) falling trend in the district. Rest of the well showing falling

trend of less than 1 m/yr. The trend of groundwater Level is

tabulated in Table 4.

4.2 Ground Water Resources :- Groundwater resources

assessment has been carried out based on the recommendations

of Ground Water Estimation Committee Report 1997 (GEE,

1997). The assessment has been done for all the blocks. The


15/29

The results of the groundwater samples were evaluated in

accordance with the standard (ISI 1993) for drinking purpose.

The samples represent the quality of phreatic zone or shallow

zone. The EC value varies from 600 1700 micro siemans / cm.

The constituents are under permissible limit as per the Indian

Standard of Drinking Water (BIS- 10500 91). The p H value of

groundwater indicates its alkaline nature. The total CaCO 3

4.4 Status of Ground Water Development There is sufficient scope

for shallow as well as deep borewells in the district. Jharkhand

State Government has constructed a number of borewells to

minimize the scarcity of drinking water problem. Central Ground

value

varies from 180 450 mg/l. Although all the constituents are

within tolerance limit as per the drinking water norms.


16/29

5.0 Ground Water Management Study

5.1 Ground Water Development :- The shallow and medium

dugwells are suitable extraction structures in the district. It is

necessary for drinking as well as irrigation purpose. The stage of

groundwater development in the district is 18.44% only. Thus

there is sufficient scope for development through dug wells,

shallow and medium bore wells. Construction of dug cum bore

well structure is also suitable for enhancing the yield of dug well,

which is economical. The groundwater development varies in

different places depending on the availability of favorable

locations.

Groundwater potential available for the groundwater

development considering the groundwater draft has been


17/29

5.2 Water Conservation and Artificial Recharge :- The total

irrigation potential created is 9400 hactare and potential utilized

7489 hactare only. During rainy season, most of the rain water

goes as runoff. At many places shortage of water is observed in

the district. Construction of water conservation structures will

help to arrest run off, recharge the aquifer and retain the soil

moisture. Contour bunding, check dam, gulley plug and

percolation tanks are suitable structures in the hard rock areas.

In mines area, water can be stored in the pond.

6.0 Ground Water Related Issues and Problems :

During summer season the dug wells dry up. The deeper

groundwater level has been observed at chas in Bokaro District

7.3 Presentation & Lectures delivered in Public Forum / Audio /

T.V. / Institution of Repute / Grassroots Associations / NGO

/ Academic Institutions etc. : NIL

8.0 Area Notified by Central Ground Water Board / Central

Ground Water Authority :- As per the groundwater

resource assessment all blocks of the district fall under the safe

category. Thus, the authority has not notified any block.

9.0 Recommendations :-

1. The districts economy is primarily agriculture based and

the most important requirement is groundwater

development for sustainable management of agriculture.

The cropping pattern should be followed as per the


19/29

hydrogeological survey, the aid of Geophysics and remote

sensing should also be taken up for selecting the borewells.

5. The dugwells must be away from the active coal mines

area, because of dewatering and seepage etc.

6. In Damodar sub basin of the district, conjuctive use of

surface and groundwater should be taken up.

7. In Chas and Chandankiyari Block of the district, the

chemical analysis of water samples should be carried out

regularly so that suitable measure could be taken to

minimize the bad effect of chemical constituents like Fe,

Nitrate and Fluoride which are reported to be beyond

permissible limit.

8. Artificial recharge structures like check dam, gully plug
