Notes: a : ‘Total replenishable groundwater resource’ minus ‘provision for domestic, industrial and other uses’ (Column 1 - Column 2) b : Gross draft is the total withdrawal from groundwater resource for irrigation c : 70% of gross draft (bulk of the losses return back to the groundwater reservoir) (70% of Column 4) d : Available groundwater resources for irrigation in net terms minus groundwater extraction (net draft) (Column 3 - Column 5) e : Level of groundwater development = (Column 5/Column 3 x 100) NA : Not assessed Neg : Negligible
