CGWB - Changes in Depth to Water Level
This dataset is maintained by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and provides detailed measurements of changes in groundwater levels from a network of 22,965 observation wells across India. The data, which has been collected four times annually (January, March/April/May, August, and November) since 1969, specifically records the fluctuations in the depth to groundwater over time, offering crucial insights into both 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. |
