About this data

Source: Andhra Pradesh Ground Water Department. Data made available through the National Water Data Portal (NWDP).

Groundwater depth is shown in m bgl. Lower values mean groundwater is closer to the surface.

How we calculate

Year on year status compares the same calendar month. It uses wells present in both years where possible.

The historical reference uses the same month across recent years. The long term trend also uses the same month across years.

Missing values are not treated as zero. Invalid readings are excluded.
