The district of Bareilly (also known as Bareli or Bans Bareilly) forms a part of Rohil Khand
division and is named after its headquarter city i.e., Bareilly which was founded in 1537 by Bans
Deo and Bareldeo the two sons of Jagat Singh Katehriya a Rohela Rajput. In the last few
decades, with the rapid urbanisation, expending inclustrialisation and increased agricultural
activities in the district, the demand of water has increased manifold. Since ground water is the
most dynamic natural resource for a dependable urban/rural water supply and assured irrigation.
It has been extensively exploited in the recent past in the entire district apart from the traditional
surface water resources.
