Water is a precious natural resource. The major portion of Jharkhand state stands on hard rocks which lack primary porosity. The water bearing capacity of these rocks depends on their ability to develop secondary porosity, Rapid Industrialisation & Urbanisation have increased the demand of water in all spheres. Therefore, the conservation & efficient water resource management is essential. The paper is mainly confined to outline the Geology, geohydrology, aquifer characteristics, quality of water etc and suggests measures for water resource management in Jharkhand.
