Abstract:
Ground water is one of the most precious gifts nature has given to mankind. Civilizations have depended on it from the very beginning of their existence. Till recently we never bothered about the management of this resource and exploitation continued without giving any thought to the consequences. With the increasing demand for ground water because of rapid growth in population, industrialisation and agricultural industry, the declining levels of water levels are becoming serious cause for concern for the authorities.
Fortunately, it is being realised now that ground water management is not just another fancy term but a concept which must be practiced, to ensure that this precious resource continues to serve us in future as well. New technologies are being developed fast to ensure accurate data which can be used for hydrogeological, hydrometeorological, hydrological and hydrochemical parameter quantification.
