Procurement of 1 Unit Truck Mounted DTH-cum-Rotary Groundwater drilling rig for augmentation of drinking water in remote areas of nagaland
Department
Department of Geology & Mining
Project Details
Scarcity of drinking water sources in remote areas of Nagaland during 1ean periods coupled with scanty and erratic rainfall in recent times has prompted the department to formulate intensive technical approach for augmentation of basic drinking water in target areas. The department has so far constructed 270 nos. of tube wells covering all districts of Nagaland. Besides generation of sub-surface data for long term planning & management of groundwater resources, it will mitigate the scarcity of water at various economic, developmental, domestic, industrial, emergency services as well as disaster management sectors.
Area of Operations
Nagaland
