Gram Panchayat|LGD 190198Water profile
Bharatgaon
Part of Satara block, Satara district.
Tap coverage is incomplete
80.29 percent of 350 households report a tap connection.
281 of 350 households, across 2 habitations.
Open Well
Satara is assessed safe. This describes the taluka, not this Panchayat.
31 rain days between 2026-08-02 and 2026-09-01, modelled rather than gauged.
Safe on 2026-05-15. 38 samples over 4 years, none of them 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.

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

Where the water comes from
The schemes JJM records as serving this Panchayat, grouped by the kind of source they draw on.

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.
Satara 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.
2 water bodies are on the census return for this Panchayat: 2 water consv schemes/percolation tanks/check-dams. 2 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. None of them is named in the return, which reads as a structure register rather than a survey of tanks and lakes.
| Census class | Water bodies |
|---|---|
| Water consv schemes/percolation tanks/check-dams | 2 |
| Owned by | Water bodies |
|---|---|
| State WRD/State Irrigation | 2 |
Water-quality testing
38 samples between 2023-05-16 and 2026-05-15. 37 were taken at a source and 1 at households.
None was recorded unsafe. A clean run this long describes the reporting as much as the water, so read it as an absence of recorded failures rather than as evidence of safety.
| Year | Samples |
|---|---|
| 2023 | 7 |
| 2024 | 11 |
| 2025 | 14 |
| 2026 | 6 |
Land and irrigation
Census 2011, reference year 2009. A historical baseline, not current cropping.
of 359 ha total.
canal 6 ha, wells 12 ha, tanks 0 ha.
culturable waste; barren 0 ha, forest 54 ha.
Sources through the summer
Census 2011, reference year 2009.
5 source types were recorded for the year and 3 held through the summer months. These failed in summer: tubeWell, riverCanal.
This is the 2009 pattern and says nothing about whether today’s piped supply holds through summer.
What is missing
15 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
- river water quality
- engineered stormwater drainage
- wastewater treatment assets
- pollution pressure inventory
- measured water pollution
