Where the water comes from
The schemes JJM records as serving this Panchayat, grouped by the kind of source they draw on.
| Source | Category | Count |

| Open Well | Ground Water | 5 |
Groundwater, projected from the taluka
IN-GRES assesses revenue talukas. This Panchayat inherits its containing taluka's category unchanged, as containing-area context rather than a measurement of the place.
Wai taluka, by village subdistrict code.
Groundwater drawn each year as a share of what recharges, for the whole taluka. Above 100 is more drawn than recharges.
Sub-district on the revenue hierarchy, which the register itself places this Panchayat's villages in.
The assessment unit is a revenue taluka, not the Gram Panchayat: each Panchayat inherits its taluka's category and stage of extraction unchanged, as containing-area context rather than a measurement of the place. Membership is the Local Government Directory's own statement: the taluka the Panchayat's covered villages sit in, joined to the IN-GRES unit by name. No polygon is intersected; a Panchayat whose taluka IN-GRES does not assess is deferred, never guessed. Blocks are the talukas themselves in this district, so no block spans more than one assessment unit.
Water-quality testing
47 samples between 2022-10-06 and 2026-04-30. 47 were taken at a source and 0 at households.
2 were recorded unsafe.
| Year | Samples |

| 2022 | 4 |

Land and irrigation
Census 2011, reference year 2009. A historical baseline, not current cropping.
of 2,745 ha total.
canal 331 ha, wells 337 ha, tanks 0 ha.
culturable waste; barren 0 ha, forest 0 ha.
Sources through the summer
Census 2011, reference year 2009.
4 source types were recorded for the year and 4 held through the summer months. None failed.
This is the 2009 pattern and says nothing about whether today’s piped supply holds through summer.
What is missing
14 of 40 capabilities are supported by acquired evidence. The rest are named here rather than left blank.

- aquifer context
- catchment context
- water body inventory
- water body condition
- waterway network
