The village Hassnabad come under watershed GP-14B which come under toposheet No 46 P/12-56 P/12 and having maximum elevation is 606 m. and minimum is 575 m. The hydrology of the watershed is depends on the rock formation generally they consist of basalt rock formation and weathered and fractured massive basalt vesicular basalt type of aquifer and the sub saturated zone and average rain fall is 600 m. There is very less scope for the rain water in hilly area to percolate in to the ground because of the rapid runoff and irrigation through groundwater is hampered. Hence the people of these areas face scarcity of water in summer as well as in winter for irrigation and in some villages for drinking also. The area falls in the terrain of Deccan Trap basalt consisting of two major types of basaltic flows viz. compact basalt and amygdaloidal basalt, compact basalt is a thick and extensive flow. It may be aphanitic or porphyritic in nature. Jointing pattern in the compact basalt plays important role in the percolation of water. But jointing pattern shows variation even within short distances. Joints may be inconsistent, broadly spaced or closely spaced. Top of the compact basalt is almost always hydrothermally altered and becomes amygdaloidal. The main objective behind the present study is to locate favorable sites for percolation of water. Effective percolation could be achieved through water conservation by resorting to certain water conservation measures for sustainability of ground water reserve. The hydrology of the watershade is depends on the rock formation generally they consist of basalt rock formation and weathered and fractured massive basalt vesicular basalt type of aquifer runoff zone and recharge zone and the sub saturated zone and average rain fall is 600 m. Well selected for observation for collection of groundwater data in study area. The observation well selected at different village.
