Bethamangala

Part of Kolar Gold Field block, Kolar district.

Blocked

Taps are incomplete and the aquifer is already in deficit

99.06 percent of households report a tap connection, and Kolar Gold Field is assessed over exploited at 190.6 percent of extraction. Closing the service gap draws on a source already over-drawn.

Place and boundary

The marker is the centre of the villages the register lists under this Panchayat, drawn by DataMeet. The LGD export lists 286 of the district's 1,825 villages under its 154 Panchayats, one or two each, so the union of a Panchayat's listed villages is not its extent: no outline or area is drawn until the full village-to-Panchayat mapping is on file.

Habitations

JJM records service for each habitation separately. A Panchayat total can hide a habitation that is behind.

Groundwater, projected from the taluk

IN-GRES assesses revenue taluks. This Panchayat inherits its containing taluk's category unchanged, as containing-area context rather than a measurement of the place.

Groundwater drawn each year as a share of what recharges, for the whole taluk. Above 100 is more drawn than recharges.

Kolar Gold Field
containing revenue taluktaluk projection

Sub-district on the revenue hierarchy, which the register itself places this Panchayat's villages in.

The assessment unit is a revenue taluk, not the Gram Panchayat: each Panchayat inherits its taluk'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 taluk the Panchayat's covered villages sit in, joined to the IN-GRES unit by name. No polygon is intersected; a Panchayat whose taluk IN-GRES does not assess is deferred, never guessed. Blocks are the taluks themselves in this district, so no block spans more than one assessment unit.

Water-quality testing

81 samples between 2022-09-01 and 2026-05-25. 76 were taken at a source and 5 at households.

2 were recorded unsafe.

Named gap
No source carries it (14)

  • place boundary
  • drinking water reliability
  • historical water access
  • groundwater level observation
  • groundwater level trend
  • aquifer context

These may not be meaningful for an inland rural Panchayat. Until that is decided, they are neither claimed nor dismissed.
