GROUND WATER FLOW MECHANISM CONCEPTUALLY

Abstract

Availability of resources of surface water is limited. It is unavailable at all places.
Hence use of these sources is restricted in order to cope with ever increasing need of supply of
water for irrigation purposes, industrial work and domestic purposes. Their global distribution
results in least vulnerable in comparison to contaminated surface water sources. Ground water
performs active contribution in meeting this high demand especially in India which is developing
country and its economy is much more dependent of agriculture sector. This sector extends
employment to rural people as well as it is major source of countries economy. To strike a
balance between resources and development, it is essential that recharging of groundwater water
resources and withdrawal there of are performed with proper planning and supervising. To
enhance natural replenishment, education of artificial recharge and ground water withdrawal is
crucial. Planning and executing systematic management of groundwater sources are required to
overcome scarcity of water on one end and suppress environmental issues on other side affecting
all around.
