Abstract: An increase in groundwater stress in Bist-Doab region of Punjab due to increase in irrigation demand, domestic requirement and reduction in surface water-bodies has caused a decline in groundwater level. These have resulted in a large amount of groundwater abstraction per unit area in central region of Bist- Doab, i.e., Jalandhar and Kapurthala districts. For improving the groundwater resources, it become vital to understand the availability of water resources and water level. In the present paper, an overview on groundwater resources in Beas-Sutlej Doab region is discussed.
