Abstract: Ground water is main source for drinking and irrigation in the region. About 90 per cent of irrigation in the districts is from ground water sources; though level of irrigation in the district is very low i.e. only 23 per cent of net sown. There are 40.48 per cent tube wells and 28.80 per cent of dug wells for irrigation in total irrigation sources in the districts. Effort was done to exploring ground water status and development in Baghelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh. Regional variation of average rainfall was calculated. Temporal analysis of ground water, water level fluctuation was also calculated. Assessment of ground water quality was done to understand the suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. Stages of ground water development in Rewa and Satna district are highest in the region which is 42 and 69 per cent respectively. Shahdol district stands very low (7 percent) in groundwater development uses while Umaria district (9 percent) is consequently increasing. These districts are under developed in region in terms of irrigation and water supply. Ground water for drinking, industrial and other uses exhibits more than 138.6 Million cubic meters (MCM) in the region. Umaria, Shahdol and Sidhi district have maximum potential of ground water availability but due to backwardness of the region the development of ground water is unsatisfactory.
