 PLAN OF ARTFICIAL RECHARGE TO GROUND WATER
IN OVER EXPLOITED BLOCKS, DISTRICT KARNAL
HARYANA
INTRODUCTION
Administratively, the district is under control of Rothak division and is divided into 3 sub-
divisions Karnal, Assandh and Indri. Karnal, Indri, Assandh, Nilokheri and Gharaunda are 5 tehsils of district
Moga. Further, the district has been sub-divided into six development blocks i.e. Karnal, Indri, Assandh,
Nissing Nilokheri and Gharaunda. Karnal district has 8 towns and 434 villages with a total population

of 17,42,815 as per 2011 census.

HYDROMETEOROLOGY
The climate of the district is characterized by the dryness of the air with an intensely hot summer and a
cold winter. The normal annual rainfall is about 582 mm which is spread over 32 rainy days. 82.39% of
rainfall occurs during south-west monsoon.
GEOMORPHOLOGY

The area represents almost an alluvial plain without any conspicuous topographical features and forms
a part of the vast Indo-Gangetic plain. The elevation of the area above mean sea level ranges from 256
m amsl in the north to 245 m amsl in the south with an average elevation of [Link] general
slope of the area is southwards. In the north western part of the district the land slopes south west
wards. There are many topographical depressions in the area of which the most pronounced is at Daha,
south of Karnal. The river Yamuna which marks the eastern boundary of the Haryana State as well as
Karnal district provides the major drainage in the area. The river Yamuna emerges from Yamnotri off
the Bansur-Punch glacier in Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand at an elevation of 6330 meters. It
emerges into the plains from the foothills at Kalesar just north of Tajewala. The Chantang Nala is the
other drainage line and flows from north to southwest in the western part of the district and
disappears near Assandh. The soils in Gharaunda and SE half of Karnal blocks are young, stratified with
no profile development. They are sandy to fine sandy loams. The soils in SE half of Nilokheri, SW
extremity of Karnal block touching Nilokheri, eastern portion of Nissang, Western half of Gharaunda
block are heavily textured varying from sandy loam at the surface to clayey loam at about one meter
depth.

HYDROGEOLOGY:
The area falls in the Upper Yamuna Basin and the principal ground water reservoir in the area is
unconsolidated alluvial deposits of Quaternary age. Ground water in near surface zone occurs under water table
conditions and occurs under semi confined to confined conditions in deeper aquifers. Rain fall and seepage from
the river Yamuna, canal networks and irrigation is the principal source of ground water recharge in the area. The
study of exploratory boreholes drilled in the district during the Upper Yamuna Project of Central Ground Water
Board indicated presence of three tier aquifer groups upto 463 m depth below ground level.
Aquifer Group-I: The Aquifer group I is composed of different sand and clay lenses and extends from surface
downwards to different depth varying down to 90m to 180m at different places and occurs all over the area. This
is composed of relatively coarser sediments. This group of aquifers is underlain by a clayey horizon 10-15m thick
which is regionally extensive. The average transmissivity of this group was calculated by the Upper Yamuna
2
Project of CGWB to be of the order of 2200 m /day, lateral permeability of the order of 24m/day and average
storativity as 0.12.
Aquifer Group-II: This group is composed of different sand and clay lenses and lies below aquifer group-I and
occurs at varying depths ranging between 115m and 195 m to 215m and 285m. The sediments of this group are
less coarse and are mixed with some kankar. This group is underlain by another clayey horizon, which is
considerable thick at places and appears to be regionally extensive. The average transmissivity of this group is
2 -3
700m /day, the average lateral permeability is 7.2m/day and the average storativity is 1x10 .
Aquifer Group-III: The aquifer group III is composed of thin sand layers alternating with thicker clay layers and
occurs at variable depths ranging between 314 m to [Link]. The granular material of this group is generally
2
finer and more so in the southerly direction. This group has an average transmissivity value of 525m /day, and
-4
average lateral permeability and average storativity values of the order of 7.1m/day and 4.5x10 respectively.

GROUND WATER QUALITY:

Data of chemical analysis of water samples from shallow aquifers indicates that ground water is alkaline
in nature and is fresh to moderately saline. The electrical conductivity (EC) values ranges from 346 µs/cm, to
0
2213 µs/cm at 25 C, Nitrates from 1.9 to 498 mg/l, fluoride from 0.14 to 4.94 mg/l, and iron from 0.03 to 1.64
mg/[Link] in the district ranges from 0.0011 to 0.0655 mg/l.
The suitability of groundwater for irrigational uses is generally ascertained by considering salinity (EC),
Sodium Adsorption ratio (SAR) and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC). The ground water is fresh to saline with
low RSC values. The US Salinity Laboratory Classification of irrigation water indicates that ground water falls
under C2S1, C3S1, C3S2 and C3S3 Classes and therefore suitable for customary irrigation on well – drained soils on
which semi – salt tolerant suitable crops such as wheat, gram and rice etc are grown without any fear of
sodium hazards.

4
Type of water:
Nearly all type of waters are available viz. Ca+ Mg – mixed anion, NaHCO3, Mixed cation – bicarbonate type or
mixed cation and mixed anion type.

GROUND WATER RESOURCES:

Ground Water Resources estimation of the district was done as on 31.03.2011 as per GEC-1997 for
each individual block. Stage of ground water development in the
district is 148%. The ground water development in all the blocks of the district has
exceeded the available recharge and thus all the blocks have been categorized as
“over exploited”.

Net ground water availability of the district is 822.31 million cubic meter (mcm), ground water draft for
all users is 1218.91 mcm, whereas net ground water availability for future irrigation development is -
396.60 mcm.

PLAN OF THIS REPORT

In this plan 2 types of the recharge structures are proposed such as Roof Top Rain water
harvesting in rural & urban areas and Recharge pits in agriculture lands of 5mt x 5mt x 3mt size. The pit
will be surrounded by angle irons and barbed fencing. The size and depth depend on the availability of
the land. The extra water available on the field will be stored in the pit and that will also be recharged to
the ground water. A summery outline of the artificial recharge plan for the entire district of each
block is given at the beginning in tabular forms. This is followed by the salient features of each
block along with the detailed structure-wise recharge plan and cost estimates.
Details of the block wise type of suitable recharge structures and volume of water assured for
annual recharge for each block, schematic design of recharge structures are annexed at annexure
I & II.
This plan is focusing on the technical aspects of the ground water recharge through various
means so that various implementing agencies may get the appropriate technical guidelines. The
existing/ongoing schemes of the central or state govt. like MANERGA, IWSP, PMKVY,
NABARD funded schemes, Urban Development schemes, departmentally funded projects etc.
may be benefitted from the recharge plan by incorporating the input in the operational
guidelines/ design and for locating the specific sites.
Agriculture university, engineering Collages, Academic and Research Institution, NGO may also take up
the pilot or demonstrative projects in the blocks suitable to them to plan at local level as per local
conditions.

 B. POTENTIAL FOR REDUCTION IN OVERDRAFT BY ENHANCING THE GROUND WATER
USE EFFICIENCY OF IRRIGATION TUBE WELLS

The micro level transformation in the ground water management have vast impact potential to counter extensive
ground water depletion faced by the state of Haryana, particularly in overexploited blocks. There are around 5102
operated by farmers for irrigation through unlined/Katcha (10.95%) open channel system in Karnal district where
water from the tubewell is discharge to the agricultural field. In this process huge quantity of ground water is
wasted in soil moisture and evaporation losses.
Dynamic ground water resources (2011) indicate that Gross ground water draft for irrigation in Karnal district is
estimated at 1206.47 MCM. It is expected that around 3.79% of over draft can be brought down by switching over
to underground/surface pipeline based distribution from the prevailing unlined open channels. Thereby gross draft
will be reduced to the tune of 33.03 MCM assuming there is no crop diversification by the farmers.
The benefit will lead to saving of precious ground water resources in overexploited blocks of Karnal Districts.
The measure if implemented will bring down the ground water overdraft from 148% to 144 %. The category of
the blocks will also improve drastically resulting in boosting of agriculture and industrial development otherwise
not sustainable in majority of the blocks in the state.
The tubewells also consume enormous electricity which is subsidized and government incurs significant revenue
on this account. The measures therefore will result in saving of energy and money. Pollution impact will be
reduced whenever diesel engines are used by the farmers. The environmental and ecological condition in the
irrigated land will improve. Unwanted weed growth will also be controlled inside the farm land. This will also be
useful in the waterlogged/ shallow water table areas as the seepage losses in these areas also aggravate the water
logging. Government should make/launch a mission mode program for installing the underground pipe
lines instead of having katcha channel in the entire Haryana. Heavy ground water overdraft can be reduced by
these efforts. This will ensure more crop per drop.
