Abstract	Because agriculture is the main source of livelihood for the bulk of the population in Jamui District, the importance of developing irrigation facilities in any programme of economic regeneration can hardly be over emphasized. It is, therefore, imperative that groundwater development be considered as an important step to drought mitigation in the Jamui district. The present study was carried out in such a way that technical and economic viability of any groundwater development plan can be thoroughly scrutinized. In this paper the hydrogeological framework of the district was established based on aquifer disposition, orientation of potential fracture systems and their hydraulic characteristics. Considering the aquifer geometry and yield potential of different structures, a blueprint for a groundwater development plan was prepared. An economic analysis of the development plan also was attempted. The analysis yielded results that made it possible to evaluate parameters such as cost–benefit ratio, incremental benefits and internal rate of return used to assess the economic viability of the groundwater development plan.Comme l'agriculture est la source essentielle de subsistance pour l'essentiel de la population, on peut mettre l'accent sur l'importance de la mise en valeur des moyens d'irrigation dans tout programme de développement économique d'une région. Par conséquent il est impératif que la mise en valeur des eaux souterraines seule puisse conduire à des avancées efficaces pour l'atténuation de la sécheresse dans le district de Jaimu de l'État de Bihar (Inde). L'étude présentée ici a été conduite de manière à ce que la viabilité technique et économique de tout plan de mise en valeur des eaux souterraines puisse être complètement examiné. Dans ce papier, le cadre hydrogéologique du district a été défini sur la base de l'organisation de l'aquifère, de l'orientation du système de fractures potentiel et de leurs caractéristiques hydrauliques. Considérant la géométrie de l'aquifère et le rendement potentiel de différentes structures, une ébauche de plan de mise en valeur des eaux souterraines a été préparée. L'analyse du coût économique du plan de développement a été tentée. L'analyse a donné des résultats intéressants et il a été possible d'évaluer des paramètres tels que le rapport bénéfice-coût, les bénéfices de plus-value et le taux de retour interne dans la perspective d'évaluer la viabilité économique de l'ébauche du plan de mise en valeur des eaux souterraines.Puesto que la agricultura es la principal fuente de suministro de la población, no es necesario enfatizar en la importancia de desarrollar instalaciones de riego dentro de cualquier programa de regeneración económica de una región. Por tanto, es imperativo que sólo el desarrollo de las aguas subterráneas pueda iniciar una reducción efectiva de las sequías en el distrito Jamui de Bihar (India). El presente estudio ha sido realizado de manera que sea posible analizar detenidamente la viabilidad técnica y económica de cualquier plan de desarrollo de aguas subterráneas. En este artículo, se establece el marco hidrogeológico del distrito a partir de la disposición de los acuíferos, la orientación del sistema potencial de fracturas y sus características hidráulicas. Teniendo en cuenta la geometría de los acuíferos y el rendimiento potencial de diferentes estructuras, se ha preparado un anteproyecto de plan de desarrollo de las aguas subterráneas. Además, se ha afrontado un análisis económico de costes de dicho plan, el cual ha dado resultados provechosos y ha permitido evaluar parámetros como la relación coste-beneficio, el margen de beneficios y la tasa interna de retorno, proporcionando una perspectiva adecuada para valorar la viabilidad económica del anteproyecto de desarrollo de las aguas subterráneas.
