9-Application of P.C. in Ground Water Hydrology.

Abstract

The introduction of personal computers and exponential growth of chip technology has remarkably increased the data processing and computational speed. Personal computer has general advantage of providing accurate computation ability with huge data storage. I plays a vital role in the field of ground water hydrology. This paper deals with the uses of personal computer in solving various ground water problems like, computation of draw-down distribution in aquifers, evaluation of storage coefficient through solution of well equation, simulation of well discharge tests, Ground water models, Geoinforfrnation system, hydrological and hydro-chemical maps, ground water data storage and retrieval, calculation of permeability from pumping test data base and analysis, well hydraulics and well construction. Ground Water balance computation and statistical data analysis. The list of the various water science related computer programmes which are available with Central Ground Water Board is also given at the end of the paper.
