| Abstract | 
            The occurrence  of lignite  in Gujarat  has  opened new  avenue for industrial development.  Lignite is known to occur since long in the Laki shales of Eocene age in the Kutch district. The population of the Panandhro, Gujarat, India, is heavily dependent on groundwater. The  present study summarizes the quantity estimations through water level fluctuation method of the groundwater resources found mainly in sedimentary rock aquifers.  Scarcity of surface water resources has resulted into over stress on ground water resources in Kutch. The Bhuj  sandstone (Mesozoic) in central Kutch is a major asset constituting good aquifer condition.  With continuous withdrawal of ground water the water level has  gone down and aquifer is now in unconfined state. The present study shows in brief the findings of the present status of groundwater level in the region during Pre¬monsoon and Post¬monsoon. This  comparative  study illustrates the exact scenario of the groundwater level fluctuations in the region. Also,  this has necessitated the need to develop an adequate groundwater resource management plan of the  area with specific reference  to identification of the  processes responsible for it  and their proper evaluation.  |
