Abstract
The present paper deals with hydrogeological setting of the Katthiwada Study Area, Alirajpur District, Madhya Pradesh, India.The natural hydrogeological survey has been carried out covering an study area of 161.42 sq .km. The well inventory of 60 open dug wells helped in the identification of 33 observation wells. The measurements of observation well data point out a diameter range from 2 to 7 m., total depth of wells vary from 4 to 11 m.b.g.l., and static water levels range from 1.5 to 10 m.b.g.l. The seasonal monitoring of water levels indicate a fluctuation range of 1.5 to 4 m.b.g.l. Ground water levels contour maps of the post-monsoon and pre-monsoon periods indicate thate in general, the ground water movement is towards the Walwai River.  In the Katthiwada Study Area, Alirajpur District, Madhya Pradesh, at Want, Golamba, Keory, Koliary, Sanada, Wadoi (B), Mithali, Ghodiyadara, Dhyana, Col, Bhokria, Katthiwada, Kotharmahura and Wagalwara is characterized by fairly good yield of water in dug wells during even pre-monsoon period. A few number of wells become dry during pre-monsoon period at villages of Kusumba, Bar (C), Lakhawat, Bej, Nimbriwat and Ghodiyadara. In general, movement of groundwater is towards the Walwai River.
