Gram Panchayat|LGD 168518Water profile
Gunjalwadi
Part of Sangamner block, Ahilyanagar district.
Taps are incomplete and the aquifer is already in deficit
95.22 percent of households report a tap connection, and Sangamner is assessed critical at 91.7 percent of extraction. Closing the service gap draws on a source already over-drawn.
3,529 of 3,706 households, across 22 habitations.
Lake, Open Well, River
Sangamner is assessed critical. This describes the taluka, not this Panchayat.
30 rain days between 2026-08-03 and 2026-09-02, modelled rather than gauged.
Safe on 2026-07-14. 151 samples over 5 years, 3 recorded unsafe.
Place and boundary
The mapped extent is DataMeet's community digitisation of the 2001 Census village map (ODbL), joined to the 2011 codes and dissolved to each Panchayat's member villages, so the place on the map is the place the register describes.

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 | 15 |
| River | Surface Water | 2 |
| Lake | Surface Water | 1 |
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.
Sangamner 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.
Tanks and water bodies
Enumerated by the First Census of Water Bodies in this Panchayat's villages and placed here through the LGD's own village list, not by a name match.
4 water bodies are on the census return for this Panchayat: 4 water consv schemes/percolation tanks/check-dams. 4 of them carry a recorded coordinate, drawn on the map above.
The state's return enters template values for waterspread, depth, year and cost on every row, so those are not published: a count, a class and an owner are what it can support. It says nothing about whether these hold water through the year. The return names 4 of them.
| Census class | Water bodies |
|---|---|
| Water consv schemes/percolation tanks/check-dams | 4 |
| Owned by | Water bodies |
|---|---|
| State WRD/State Irrigation | 3 |
| Co-operative | 1 |
Water-quality testing
151 samples between 2022-11-28 and 2026-07-14. 150 were taken at a source and 1 at households.
3 were recorded unsafe.
| Year | Samples |
|---|---|
| 2022 | 6 |
| 2023 | 27 |
| 2024 | 50 |
| 2025 | 47 |
| 2026 | 21 |
Land and irrigation
Census 2011, reference year 2009. A historical baseline, not current cropping.
of 1,002.44 ha total.
canal 0 ha, wells 0 ha, tanks 0 ha.
culturable waste; barren 120.11 ha, forest 0 ha.
Sources through the summer
Census 2011, reference year 2009.
3 source types were recorded for the year and 3 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
16 of 40 capabilities are supported by acquired evidence. The rest are named here rather than left blank.
Nothing acquired for this district answers these, so they are named rather than estimated.
- drinking water reliability
- groundwater level observation
- groundwater level trend
- aquifer context
- catchment context
- water body condition
- waterway network
- flood hazard
- observed flood events
- natural drainage
- wastewater service
These may not be meaningful for an inland rural Panchayat. Until that is decided, they are neither claimed nor dismissed.
- surface water change
- engineered stormwater drainage
- wastewater treatment assets
- pollution pressure inventory
- measured water pollution
- coastal and estuarine
- current crop and irrigation state
- soil water context
- agricultural water system relation
- crop water demand
- agricultural water stress observation
- agricultural water pollution pressure
- composite priority score
