Abstract Udupi taluk, part of Udupi district, is classified as "Safe" based on the 2022 dynamic groundwater resource assessment. To improve and manage groundwater resources effectively, a detailed study of aquifer potential is essential. Subsurface aquifer data has been gathered through exploratory drilling and used to create 2D and 3D sections, along with fence diagrams/models using Rockworks software. The Central Ground Water Board's National Aquifer Mapping and Management Program aims to map aquifers, characterize water-bearing formations, and develop management plans for sustainable groundwater use. Although Udupi taluk is categorized as "Safe," maintaining this status requires proper management. With the implementation of Artificial recharge structures, water use efficiency method and irrigation methods like drip and sprinkle can significantly enhance groundwater resources with changes in cropping pattern. The proposed groundwater development plan aims to increase groundwater development from 35% to 60% systematically using a scientific approach.
