CS(AR)-30/96-97 : Ground water quality modelling in Nargund Navalgund

Abstract

Groundwater quality scenarios of worst affected region of Nargund-Navalgund area of Malaprabha command. are simulated through a Three Dimensional Finite Difference code SWIFT III. Simulations were carried cut for the steady state condition, which can be extended to other areas and also for transient condition subjected to generation of more and more informations which was the most severe limitation felt during carrying out this study. It has been overcome to possible extent through various field tests carried out at various locations. Encouraging increase in Groundwater abstraction in planned manner in the study domain shows overall improvement in the Quality of Groundwater. The study can be useful as a pilot study for delineating rural water supply resources and conjunctive-use strategies for Nargund Navalgund area in Dharwar district under Malaprabha Command .
