Groundwater (GW) is a significant freshwater resource for domestic, industrial and irrigation water supply in the India. During last decades, the demand of groundwater supply for drinking, domestic, irrigation, industrial and multipurpose uses has increased due to the rapidly rising population and constant desire for a better lifestyle in developing countries. Increasing demand for fresh water ...

Central Asia contains one of the largest internal drainage basins in the world, and its continental location results in limited availability of both surface and groundwater. Since the twentieth century, water resources of the region have been exploited beyond sustainable levels. From small Mongolian headwater streams to the mighty Aral Sea, surface waters have been partially desiccated. Demands...

A student-centric research education program with the active participation of undergraduate students is initiated. The aim is to imbibe ―responsible citizenship behavior‖ in them so that each member becomes conscious and well trained to take up environmental-related issues and challenges for long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. In this work, we report spectrophotometer-based estimation of...

Residues of the herbicides simazine, metribuzin, metolachlor, trifluralin, atrazine, and two metabolites of atrazine, deisopropylatrazine (DIA) and deethylatrazine (DEA), are surveyed in the surface and groundwater of the Primavera do Leste region, Mato Grosso, Brazil during September and December 1998 and April 1999. Different water source sampling stations of groundwater (irrigation water wel...

abstract one of the important economic problems in arid and semi-arid regions is insufficient water for agricultural purposes as it is evident for other purposes. accordingly, sustainable management of water resources becomes an important challenge for policymakers. this study investigated water use planning based on the fluctuation of rainfall and the random nature of water resources in firoza...

Water plays a vital role in the development of activities in an area. The surface water resources are inadequate to fulfill the water demand. Productivity through groundwater is quite high as compared to surface water, but groundwater resources have not yet been properly exploited. Keeping this view, the present study attempts to select and delineate various groundwater potential zones for the ...
