Abstract

The paper is focused on hydrogeological analysis Khargone area, Khargone District, Madhya Pradesh, India. The study area typically consists of basalt rock formations dating from the Late Cretaceous to the Paleocene era of the  Deccan Traps. The alluvium is clearly visible along the Kunda River's course. The hydrogeological examination of  70 open dug wells reveals well diameter range between 3 meters and 9 meters, Depth of well within the range of 6-7  m.b.g.l. Static water levels ranged from 1 m. to 17 m.b.g.l. The fluctuation ranges between 2 to 12 m respectively.  The ground water level maps of post and pre monsoon periods indicate that in general the ground water movement  is towards the kunda River. The suitable sites for ground water development have been suggested in the villages of  Nangalda, Ibrampura, Thibgaon Khurd and Dongargaon.
