natural discharge during non-monsoon season is
1.75 BCM. The net groundwater availability in
the state is 33.29 BCM.
Distribution of groundwater potential is also
very uneven in the state. It is as low as 0.216
BCM (21,648 ham) in Alirajpur and 0.232 BCM
(23,214 ham) Jhabua districts and as high as 2.13
BCM (2, 13,837 ham) in Hoshangabad district.
District-wise potential of groundwater is depicted
