Water is most precious natural resource on this Earth. It is an essential part of civilized modern life. It is used in drinking, bathing, washing, irrigation, industrial and a host of other works. Availability of water is both from surface water as well as ground water. In the modern age, the use of water in different purposes has accelerated to such an extent that its scarcity has posed a major problem to be faced by the dwellers in the urban and rural areas. Pakur District is situated in Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand state. It is a part of Rajmahal Highlands. The terrain is undulating made up of hard rocks, mostly granitic and basaltic; the amount of surface water & groundwater is very limited. Therefore the use and demand of water in so many purposes has drawn the attention of Planners, administrators, Scientists to chalk out the strategy and planning for conservation & management of these vital resources which is often called the ‘Elixir of life’. The main purpose of this research paper is to find out the potentials of Ground Water resources, its use and management in the district as a whole in different ways and also to suggest some measures for its conservation.
