    Central Ground Water Board monitors groundwater levels throughout the country on a regional scale, four times in a year during the months of March/April/May, August, November and January.This data is collected under the mode of acquisition “Manual”. For monitoring of ground water level, CGWB has a dedicated network of about 25000 monitoring stations called “National Hydrograph Network Stations (NHNS)”, which comprises open dug wells and purpose-built bore/tube wells for water level monitoring called piezometers. Similarly, CGWB has initiated automatic high frequency monitoring by installing Digital Water Level Recorders (DWLR) with telemetry systems under the National Hydrology Project (NHP). This data is collected under the mode of acquisition “Telemetry”. | Variable Name | Variable Description | Variable Type | Unit of Measurement | |-----------------|----------------------------|---------------|---------------------| | date | Date | DATE | | | state_name | State Name | TEXT | | | state_code | State Code | TEXT | | | district_name | District Name | TEXT | | | district_code | District Code | TEXT | | | station_name | Station Name | TEXT | | | latitude | Latitude | NUMERIC | | | longitude | Longitude | NUMERIC | | | basin | Basin | TEXT | | | sub_basin | Sub Basin | TEXT | | | source | Source | TEXT | | | currentlevel | Depth to Water Level | NUMERIC | Meters | | level_diff | Level Difference | NUMERIC | |

    The Groundwater Level dataset, sourced from the Ministry of Jal Shakti, offers a comprehensive view of groundwater levels across India. It includes manually collected data from monitoring wells, high-frequency telemetric readings, and long-term records observation wells dating back to 1969. The datasets enable spatial, temporal, and trend analysis of groundwater fluctuations, supporting research on aquifer health, water availability, and policy decisions for sustainable water management. | Variable Name | Variable Description | Variable Type | Unit Of Measurement | |--------------------------|--------------------------------|----------------|----------------------| | station_name | Station Name | TEXT | | | station_code | Station Code | TEXT | | | station_type | Station Type | TEXT | | | station_status | Station Status | TEXT | | | data_acquisition_mode | Data Acquisition Type | TEXT | | | agency_name | Agency Name | TEXT | | | agency_id | Agency Id | TEXT | | | well_type | Well Type | TEXT | | | well_aquifer_type | Well Aquifer Type | TEXT | | | latitude | Latitude | NUMERIC | | | longitude | Longitude | NUMERIC | | | date_of_establishment | Date of Establishment | DATE | | | data_available_from | Data Available From | DATE | | | discharge_data_available | Availability of Discharge Data | TEXT | | | discharge | Discharge Volume | NUMERIC | mslmeter | | well_depth | Depth of Well | NUMERIC | meter | | date | Data Date | DATE | | | time | Time of Data taken | TIMESTAMP | | | data_type_code | Data Type Code | TEXT | | | data_type_description | Data Type Description | TEXT | | | data_value | Data Value | NUMERIC | meter |
