1.0 INTRODUCTION
Bijnor district covers an area of 4561 sq. km. & forms a part of Central Ganga
Plain and is underlain by quaternary sediments. The district is administratively
divided into 5 tehsils namely Najeebabad, Bijnor, Nagina, Dhampur & Chandpur and
further subdivided into 11 development blocks (Plate-I) vis a vis Najeebabad,
Kiratpur, Mohmadpur Deomal, Haldaur, Khari Jhalu, Kotwali, Afzalgarh, Nehtaur,
Allahepur, Burhanpur, Seohara, Jalilpur & Noorpur, There are 2989 villages in
district out of which 2148 villages are habitated.
The total population of the district is 3131619 as per 2001 census. Out of
which 1651908 (52.7%) are male and 1479711 (47.3%) are female. Total population
of schedule caste is 655806 (21%). Population density is 687 persons / sq. km. The
decennial population growth is 28.82%.
The Bijnor district forms a part of Indogangetic alluvium sloping towards
south. The drainage system of the district is controlled by the Ganga, Ramganga & its
tributaries viz. Malin River, Choyyia Nadi, Khoh River, Phika Nadi, Ban & Gangan
Nadi.
Ground water is the main source of irrigation in the district as 96% of net
sown area is irrigated through ground water resources by means of shallow / deep
tubewells. Rest 4% net area sown is irrigated through surface water resources by
means of canals. The reported area is 464578 ha. out of which net sown area is
339349 (73%). The total forest area is 54927 ha (11.8%). The maximum utilization of
land for cultivation is in Noorpur (89.5%) block and minimum is in Najeebabad block
(44.2%). The area sown more than once is 109277 ha & total gross sown area is
448626 ha. The cropping intensity is 132.12% in the district. The Rabi & Kharif are
6
the main harvest. The principal Rabi crop is wheat followed by Paddy, Barley, Maize
& Millet. Kharif crops are Paddy, Maize, Millet, Sugarcane & Pulses.
Systematic hydrogeological surveys were carried out by Shri S.K. Bansal
Assistant Hydrogeologist in the A.A.P. 1980-81 & 1981-82. After that reappraisal
surveys were carried out by S/Shri Sunil Kumar Scientist 'B' & R.K. Rajput Assistant
Hydrogeologist during A.A.P. 1991-92 ground water management studies were
carried out S/Shri Arun Kumar Scientist 'B' & Sant Lal Scientist 'B' in the A.A.P.
2007-08. Ground water exploration was carried out in phases in the year 1992-93,
1993-94, 2002-03 & 2005-06. Total number of 24 exploratory wells were constructed
during the above period.
The annual normal rainfall (1951-1980) of the district is 901.00 mm. The
maximum rainfall occurs during monsoon period is June to September having normal
value of 763.10 mm which is 84.6% of the annual rainfall. August is the wettest
month having the normal rainfall of 332.20 mm followed by July with normal rainfall
of 248.00 mm. Average number of rainy days is 38.
Climate of the district is subhumid and characteristic vegetation is grassland.
The monthly Precipitation Index (P.E.) is 43.074. The hottest month is June with
average mean temperature of 32.850C. The coldest month is January with average
mean temperature of 14.20C. The average annual humidity is 66.7%. The normal
annual wind speed is 6.7 Km/hr.
Being a part of Indogangetic alluvial plain, the area is almost flat alluvial plain
with master slope towards south. The maximum elevation is 306 mamsl in the north
and minimum elevation is 210 mamsl in the south. The main feature that dissects the
flat alluvial tracts are the rivers. The river valleys are of varying width and are at
lower levels than the main uplands. Due area can be divided into 5 units namely, sand
7
bars, flood plain alluvium, younger alluvial plain, older alluvial plain & piedmont
plain.
Soils are essentially a mixture of organic matter called hums and inorganic
particles derived from weathering of rocks. Soils of Bijnor area is of 4 types namely
(i) Bhur or Sandy soil (ii) Bur Sewai or Sandy loam soil (iii) Sawai or loam soil & (iv)
Matiyar or clayey soil. In general or high grounds of upland areas, the soil is of sandy
loam soil type and often it is pure sand. On level stretches it is a mixture of sand and
clay i.e. from sandy loam to loam. In low areas Khadar/depression it is silty loam to
silty clay. Here the sand disappears leaving argillaceous clay locally known as
Matiyar.
4.1 GEOLOGY:
The major part of the district is underlain by alluvial sediments of quaternary
period deposited by drainage system of river Ramganga & Ganga. The Siwalik
system of formation belonging to tertiary period are exposed in the extreme north-
western part of the district in the Najeebabad block. The general stratigraphic
sequence of the area is given as under:
First and second aquifers are most productive and most of the state
government tubewells has been constructed in the first aquifer which are yielding
1500-2000 lpm at a reasonable drawdown. The second and third aquifer are also
productive and discharge upto 3000 lpm can be obtained at moderate drawdown from
these aquifers. The occurrence of thin clay lenses within these aquifers are quite
common. In the central part of the district frequent occurrence of clay within the
second and third aquifer has been observed. This may be due to the migration of two
important drainage system, the Ganga & Ramganga which are responsible for
deposition of alluvial sediments. The Ganga System has deposited coarser sediments
in the western part of the district. Hydrogeological details of the tubewells constructed
by CGWB are enclosed as Annexure-I.

(0.62 m/km.). The highest elevation of water table is over 300 mamsl in the northern
part while around 210 mamsl in the southern part .

For long term water level trends, the existing Ground Water Monitoring Wells
of CGWB were analyzed from the year 2003 to 2012. Out of 11 Ground Water
Monitoring Wells only 4 wells have required data points for long term trend analysis.
During pre-monsoon all these wells showing rising trends from 0.03 to 0.16 m/year
period while during the post monsoon period three wells are showing rising trend
0.05 to 0.18 m/year and one well Sheh Road Railway Station showing falling trend
0.08 m/year.

Based upon the studies carried out it is observed that water level is declining
very fast in the district and it is strongly recommended that exploitation of ground
water through private and state shallow tube wells be minimized in the crtical block
Nooorpur and Semicrticla blocks Jalilpur & Seohara. The declining water level have
caused adverse effect on the ecological balance as minor drainage ways which used to
have water are now almost dry. This obviously is the result of massive ground water
exploitation for irrigation as well as for industries need in these three blocks. Dug
wells have become defunct due to lowering of water table. It is therefore suggested
that piezometers should be constructed down to 40 metres depth to monitor water
levels where the dugwells are defunct. Exploitation of deeper aquifers be made in
systematic manner which are capable of yielding good water at moderate drawdowns.
13
Rainwater harvesting techniques be adopted in the areas where the depth to
water level is more than 8 metres. In the rural areas rainwater harvesting through
Gally Plug, Gabion Structures, Percobtion Tanks, Check Dam / Cement Plug / Nala
Bund, Recharge shaft, Dugwell Recharge and Ground Water Dams / Subsurface
Dykes can be taken up. In these areas rainwater harvesting be taken up considering
water shed as a unit. In addition to above techniques surface spreading techniques are
quite common in this areas.
As such no water logged area exist in the district shallow water level occurs
less than 5 metres occurs on the both side of Khoh river, in the northern part of
Najeebabad block & eastern part of Afzalgarh blocks along the canals.
In the Noorpur Block level of development is 93.52% and most of dugwells
have become dry. The withdrawal of ground water is through different types of
hydraulic structures. Large number of shallow and deep tubewells within 100 metres
depth are responsible for the withdrawal. Ground water levels are very deep in the
flood plain areas in this block.
In addition to Nooorpur block, water level decline has been reported in
Seohara & Jalilpur blocks.
