**4.6 Pre-monsoon depth to water level (may 2021) of shallow aquifer**

The depth to water levels in Nashik district during May 2021 ranges between 0.05 (Trambakeshwar, Trambakeshwar block) and 30.00 m bgl (RavalgaonPz, Malegaon block). The depth to water levels of more than 10 m bgl is observed in mainly Baglan and Kalwan blocks and isolated patches in the remaining parts of the district covering an area of 2118.53 sq. km. The depth to water level between 2 and 5 and 5–10 m bgl is recorded in the major areas of the district covering an area of 12799.4 sq. km. Water level ranges between 0 and 2 m bgl are observed in isolated patches in the Nashik
