7. Water levels of Piezometer wells in Upland area, W.G.Dt. • The average water levels by end of non-monsoon periods of • May 200217.01 m • January, 2003 18.37 m • Change– 1.36 m • May 200319.79 m • January, 2004 18.34 m • Change + 1.45 m • From the above data it is observed that the depletion of – 1.36 m is attributed to the poor rainfall occurred, where as the accretion of +1.45 m has been resulted only due to the effect of good monsoon rainfall which clubbed with the impact of recharge structures.

9. Water levels of Piezometer wells in Delta area, W.G.Dt. • The average water levels by end of non-monsoon periods i.e., • May 2002 3.37 m May 2003 3.74 m • January, 2003 2.96 m January, 2004 2.35 m Change + 0.41 m + 1.39 m. • From the data it is observed that the rise of + 0.41 m is attributed the poor rainfall occurred, where as the accretion of + 1.39 m has been resulted only due to the effect of good monsoon rainfall.

11. Water levels of Piezometer wells in West Godavari District • The average water levels by end of non-monsoon periods i.e., May of 2002 and 2003 were 12.67m and 14.99 m respectively. • By end of January, 2003 and January, 2004 are 13.87 m and 13.66 m respectively. • The change in average water levels from May to January period for the years 2003 and 2004 are obtained as – 1.20 m and + 1.33 m. • From the above data it is observed that the depletion of – 1.23 m is attributed to the poor rainfall occurred, where as the accretion of + 1.33 m has been resulted only due to the effect of good monsoon rainfall which clubbed with the impact of recharge structures taken up in the district.

13. Norms of Rainfall Infiltration Factor • Sandstone Formation 10% - 14% • Crystalline Formation 10% - 12% • Alluvial Formation • Sandy Area 20% - 25% Clayey sands Area 8% - 12%

24. Water levels of observataion wells near desilted tanks • The average water level during January, 2003 is 5.75 m. • The average water level during January, 2004 is 3.79 m. • Fluctuation from Jan. 03 to Jan. 04 is + 1.96 m (rise). • The rise in water level is due to the effect of relatively good rainfall of 920.5 mm up to January,2004 and the added impact of rainwater recharge structures taken up in the district.
