| Issue: |
Summary, updated, small scale cartography of the Quaternary geology of the state is incomplete. There is no complete 3-D coverage for the state geology that can be used in derivative cartography to address information needs on resources like groundwater. |
| Objective: |
The goal of this project is to develop a Quaternary geology stratigraphy, presented as a 2D map, that helps in building a 3D geological mapping of the state. |
| Approach: |
Redefinition of stratigraphy is planned for 2019.
Mapping and field verification of landforms and potential drilling sites to be performed in February-March-April 2020.
Drilling to verify stratigraphy April 2020.
Preparation of GIS layers planned for March-May 2020. |
