What the district runs on
Irrigation from the Census village tables (Census 2011 release; village reference year 2009), drinking water from the sources JJM records today. A Panchayat without a measure lowers that measure’s denominator rather than counting as a zero.

JJM, read 2026-09-02. Commonest source types: River (2,997), Open Well (1,151), Spring (411), Deep Tubewell (254).
29.3% of the 4,938 drinking-water sources JJM records here draw on groundwater (2,997 of them rivers), against 3,489 on surface water.
Groundwater by taluka
IN-GRES assesses revenue talukas, not blocks or Panchayats. These are the units the district is actually assessed in, and the headroom reading is written from them.
IN-GRES 2024-2025 puts total groundwater availability across the 12 talukas at 1,27,745 ham a year, 53,857 ham of it rainfall recharge, with 73,408 ham (57.5%) left for future use. Of the 12 talukas, 12 safe. The district as a whole is assessed safe at 42.5% of extraction. Headroom sits mostly in Radhanagari (11,009 ham) and is thinnest in Gaganbawada (3,066 ham).
| Taluka | Stage of extraction | Category | Rainfall recharge (ham) | Total availability (ham) | Left for future use (ham) | Rainfall (mm) |

IN-GRES 2024-2025. The stage of extraction is annual draft as a share of total availability; above 100 percent, more is drawn each year than the taluka is assessed to have. Rainfall recharge is one component of that availability. The year is the hydrological-year label, not an edition date. 1025 of 1025 Panchayats inherit their containing taluka's category by administrative membership, as containing-area context rather than a measurement of the place; 0 are deferred rather than guessed.
Blocks compared
The same measures per block. Where a district average hides a gradient, this is where it shows, and the findings are written before the table rather than left for the reader to find.
Canal share runs from 38.0% in Shirol to 0.0% in Gaganbawada and Panhala; wells fill the difference, 11.7% of irrigated farmland at the bottom of the gradient against 68.8% at the top.
No block reports a tap gap: 6 of 12 blocks record 99% or more and 6 record exactly 100.0% of households with a connection.
6 of 12 blocks report exactly 100.0% of households with a tap. A figure that exact across 6,61,339 households is a reporting convention, connections entered equal to households, and is read here as reported complete rather than measured.

Canal, well and tank figures are shares of the irrigated farmland beside them, not of households and not of drinking water. They come from Census 2011 (Census 2011 release; village reference year 2009) and cover only the 1003 Panchayats with a Census land record, so a block with few such records shows a share of a small area. Tap and testing figures are JJM and current at the read date. The talukacategory is the one most of the block’s Panchayats inherit by projection, which here is the taluka the register places them in. Untested counts Panchayats whose most recent water-quality sample is more than 90 days before 2026-09-06; ninety days is the Atlas’s own threshold for calling a series stale, not a statutory testing interval.
Floods and scarcity
Two readings the directory families cannot carry: what the state's own disaster plan says about flood exposure here, and - where the state publishes one - the week's tanker register. Both are the state's documents, quoted and dated, not the Atlas's assessment.
0 government, 0 private.
Villages the report lists on tanker supply.
Hamlets (wadis and wastis) the report lists on tanker supply.
No village or wadi in the district was on tanker supply in the week to 2026-08-30. Statewide the week's report has 321 villages and 1,125 wadis on 348 tankers (7 government, 341 private), worst in Ahilyanagar (97).
The state disaster plan classes Kolhapur, like most of the state, as flood-prone.
“All districts in the State except Ahmednagar, Beed, Solapur, Latur, Osmanabad, Jalna, Aurangabad, and Buldhana are flood prone.”
Water bodies
The First Census of Water Bodies (Ministry of Jal Shakti, reference years 2017-18 to 2020-21), which locates each water body in a Census village; the LGD's own village list names the Panchayat, so the join is a code match, not a name match.
508 Panchayats have none in the return. 222 rural rows sit in villages the LGD lists under two Panchayats or under none and are counted on the taluka without being assigned, and 18 are in towns. 1,093 carry a recorded coordinate and are drawn on the Panchayat pages; 5 fall outside the district and are not. Owned by Co-operative, State WRD/State Irrigation. Read 2026-09-02.
| Census class | Water bodies |
|---|---|
| Water consv schemes/percolation tanks/check-dams | 960 |
| Tank | 90 |
| Ponds | 31 |
| Lakes | 12 |
| Reservoirs | 5 |
Waterspread is not published. The Kolhapur return shows the template pattern in a 1,200-row sample: 16 distinct whole-number waterspread values with 5 ha on four rows in five and depth 4 m on five in six, an enumerator's default rather than a measurement, so the waterspread is not published. Counts, types, ownership and recorded coordinates are served.
District Environment Plan
Environment Department, Government of Maharashtra and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board prepared the plan on the CPCB model under the NGT's 2019 order. What it states about water is transcribed below, each figure with the page it sits on; nothing here is computed from it.
Dated 2019-12-30, 11 pages. Read the plan at MPCB (PDF). The label MPCB's listing gives the plans; the PDF metadata dates the file 30 December 2019 and the filename carries 23 June 2021, the date it was posted.
Transcription checked against the document on 2026-09-02.
| Figure | As stated | Where |
|---|---|---|
Rivers counted by the water-quality section 80.7 km of riverine length; the profile table instead names Panchganga, Krishna, Savithri, Veena, Koyna and Gayathri - the contradiction is the plan's, surfaced here. | 2 rivers | p. 7 (PDF p. 8) |
Sewage generated by the 15 ULBs | 140.43 MLD | p. 7 (PDF p. 8) |
Installed STP capacity The plan's own two figures leave 54.43 MLD beyond installed capacity; that arithmetic is ours, not the plan's. | 86 MLD | p. 7 (PDF p. 8) |
Industrial effluent generation From 594 industries, treated with the aid of 4 CETPs. | 52.5 MLD | p. 7 (PDF p. 8) |
Common effluent treatment plants | 4 CETPs | p. 7 (PDF p. 8) |
District area From the profile table. | 7,685 sq km | p. 1 (PDF p. 2) |
Action points the plan sets for water: map the highest flood line, demarcate and protect flood plains in the ulbs, in light of erratic precipitation in recent years. Two things to know when reading the PDF: The body introduces the profile as 'General Latur district profile is presented in the Table 1'. The profile names six rivers while the water-quality section counts two with 80.7 km; both statements are transcribed, neither corrected. The climate row prints 'Rainfall: 19 to 30 degrees C'.
Polluted river stretches
What CPCB's October 2025 (updated version) report lists for the district. Priority is CPCB's own BOD band on the 2022 and 2023 maximum, I the worst; station BOD for 2024 is the report's follow-up annexure. Each row says how it was joined to the district: a place CPCB prints, or the river's course.

Find a Gram Panchayat
Every one of the 1025 LGD-coded Gram Panchayats is listed. A place shows a water profile only where its evidence cleared the floor (identity, population and drinking-water service established); the rest are directory records, kept so they can be found and reviewed.

The district on a map
Every Panchayat with a mapped boundary is plotted from the centre of its own DataMeet polygon, not from a hand-entered coordinate. The marker is the Panchayat, not a settlement.
1004 of 1025 Panchayats have a mapped boundary. The polygons are DataMeet's community digitisation of the 2001 Census village map (ODbL), joined to the 2011 codes and dissolved to each Panchayat's member villages; each taluka and Panchayat page draws them.
How current these figures are
Not everything on this page is from the same year, and the gap is large. What each figure describes is listed separately from when the Atlas last read it, straight from each artifact's own record.

The land, irrigation and seasonal-source figures are the oldest thing here by a wide margin. India’s 2021 census did not take place, so Census 2011 remains the most recent village-level enumeration and there is no newer source of the same granularity to replace it with. Those figures are kept under capabilities named historical, and the current-crop capability is left empty rather than answered with a 2009 number.
