CGWB Groundwater Levels (Pre/Post-Monsoon)

CGWB Groundwater Levels (Pre/Post-Monsoon)

MH Subset Needed

Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon groundwater depth measurements from monitoring wells across Maharashtra districts by the Central Ground Water Board. Provides in-situ well-level data distinct from satellite-based GRACE measurements. Critical for tracking groundwater depletion trends in drought-prone Marathwada and Vidarbha.

Build a groundwater depletion prediction model for Maharashtra that forecasts water level trends for drought planning.
Maharashtra subset not yet extracted. This is a global dataset that contains data covering Maharashtra. A regional subset can be extracted by filtering on geographic coordinates or administrative boundaries.
