The atlas, first ever compliation of aquifer systems in India, says that within the national capital, South-West Delhi is the worst af fected by depleting groundwater levels. The construction around Aravail Hills has created a situation which has disturbed the groundwater recharge system. said centeral Ground Water Board Chairman Mr. ABC. He said overexploitation due to population concentration has led to depletion of levels and the recharge process is slow due to the type of soil in the region. He also said that hard rock areas of South India were also severely affected.

But the recharge process is faster in rocky areas. Good rains over five to seven year period can bring back water in aquifers. The atlas has been prepared on 1:250000 grid map scale.
