Ground water abstraction is increasing day by day due to its increasing demand for various uses. Hosur union of Krishnagiri District, completely depends on ground water for drinking purpose, since the surface water from Penniyar River is very limited. In the present study the assessment of ground water quantity of this region is taken up, to ascertain the safe yield.
Development of representative conceptual groundwater flow model is an important step before translating it into a numerical model. In this paper, a methodology for development of conceptual groundwater flow model has been presented in which spatially distributed values for groundwater recharge has been utilized instead of lump sum average values of recharge normally obtained by water budgeting method. The study also extensively uses GIS for preprocessing of hydrological, hydrogeological and geological data.
GUWAHATI, Sept 16 – Guwahati and its adjoining areas are likely to suffer a crisis in the form of groundwater depletion, if efforts are not made to optimise the use of the resources.
Water Levels Fell Alarmingly In 75% Wells Over A Decade; Monsoon Was The Saviour Last Year
New Delhi: There has been a substantial fall in groundwater levels in the capital over the past 10 years. In what should ring alarm bells, the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) said in its report that Delhi is currently withdrawing 0.48 billion cubic metres annually of a safely available 0.28bcm.
The occasion will be the groundwater Day on Friday, when authorities would settle down to express their concern on the plunging groundwater level in the state.
LUCKNOW: The ambitious groundwater recharge project to be undertaken in the state capital is all set to undergo a scrutiny of Hyderabad-based National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI), countrys top scientific institution engaged in assessment of groundwater and its associated parameters in the country.
To be undertaken by the state and Central groundwater department, the project under whic
Tankers rule the roost in Bommanahalli, as water is supplied only twice a month. Sinking of borewells leading to overexploitation of groundwater has forced the residents of Bommanahalli and its surrounding areas to depend almost solely on water tankers. That the supply of Cauvery water is dismal, does not help either.
Chandigarh Haryana government planned to install recharge shafts in sweet water zones to minimise depletion of underground water table and damage caused by the floods in the state.
While stating this here on Sunday, state finance and irrigation minister Capt Ajay Singh Yadav said that initially the project would be launched on pilot basis and about 100 recharge shafts in different pockets of th
