Dynamic groundwater resources of Maharashtra – A report by CGWB and GSDA (2004)

This report on “Dynamic Ground Water Resources of Maharashtra (2004)” presents the groundwater estimates for the State of Maharashtra as computed by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and Groundwater Survey and Development Agency (GSDA) based on the guidelines given by the Groundwater Estimation Committee (GEC-1997) constituted by Ministry of Water Resources (Government of India). The report gives the groundwater potential of different districts of the State on watershed basis and also information about the semi-critical, critical and over-exploited watersheds.

Inputs for India Water Development Report - Additional Response

Submitted by content-team on March 25, 2011 - 09:30

From K N Vajpai

Dear members,

This sounds a commendable initiative by working on such report. Given the scenario of looming water crisis with disrupted ecosystem functions due to various anthropogenic and climatic factors following are the observations and suggestions:

On areas of information collection:
 
It will be best if we collate data from various sources like DDWS, CGWB, CPCB, and other Government owned water related institutions, international agencies (those have first-hand data) and get an overall understanding of the issues and severity of the problem. In case you wish to rely on data from only one agency e.g., DDWS, it will be repeating the same story about water availability, scarcity, demand and quality issues. We should have a solid rationale on this issue particularly that will highlight the actual problem people are facing due to scarce water and unsafe water across country and specifically in Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, among others.

Case studies on water quality - A presentation by ACWADAM

This presentation by ACWADAM deals with monitoring of water quality in a watershed. It describes the process of going about conducting a hydrogeological study of the watershed, right from the study of the basic geology to the importance of the quality of groundwater in the watershed. The main hydrogeological provinces of India are described - (a) Hard rock regimes: Crystalline rocks, Volcanic (Deccan basalt), (b) Alluvial regimes, and (c) Consolidated sedimentary regimes: Soft sedimentary, Hard sedimentary.Read More

Modeling of a coastal aquifer in Goa using FEFLOW – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study by National Institute of Hydrology attempts to model seawater intrusion using FEFLOW, an interactive finite element simulation system in the coastal area of Bardez taluka in North Goa and evaluate the impact of increasing groundwater development on the phenomenon. Coastal tracts of Goa are rapidly being transformed into settlement areas and the poor water supply facilities have encouraged people to develop their own sources of water by digging or boring wells.Read More
