Well statistics
Figures 18 and 19 show the locations of wells in
Kalyandurg and Dhone respectively. These data were
collected as part of the well survey carried out by the
Andhra Pradesh Groundwater Department. The wells
surveyed included open wells, inborewells and borewells.
Wells that were defunct but still intact were included in
the survey, whereas open wells that had been completely
abandoned and borewells that no longer had headworks
were not included in the survey. These figures show the
preference for siting wells near to drainage lines. In general,
the absence of wells in certain areas can be explained in
terms of either unfavourable geological conditions or poor
groundwater quality.
