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.

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.

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
7/28/2019 About Bokaro
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.
7/28/2019 About Bokaro
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
7/28/2019 About Bokaro
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.

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
7/28/2019 About Bokaro
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

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
7/28/2019 About Bokaro
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.
