Abstract:
Groundwater is an important source of water supply for
the various uses and its increasing demands in agricultural,
industrial and domestic sectors necessitates proper water
resources assessment and management strategies. Improper
management of groundwater resources can lead to various
troubles such as higher pumping cost, reduction in yield,
failure of wells, sea water intrusion to fresh water aquifers
in coastal regions, sub marine groundwater discharge (SGD)
and land subsidence. For proper assessment of groundwater
resources and groundwater budgeting we need to investigate
hydro-geological parameters and aquifer characteristics
more precisely.
