CGWB - Changes in Depth to Water Level
This dataset is Maintained by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), this dataset records groundwater level fluctuations in Himachal Pradesh using a network of 22,965 observation wells. Collected quarterly since 1969 (January, March/April/May, August, and November), it provides vital insights into seasonal and annual variations in groundwater depth.

| 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. |
