Conventional Method For Ground Water Augmentation Of Panamaruthupatti Block, Salem District, Tamil Nadu, India - A Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Artificial groundwater recharge is a process by which the groundwater reservoir is augmented at a rate exceeding the augmentation rate under natural conditions of replenishment. In some parts of India, due to over-exploitation of groundwater, decline in groundwater levels resulting in shortage of supply of water, and intrusion of saline water in coastal areas have been observed. In such areas, there is need for artificial recharge of groundwater by augmenting the natural infiltration of precipitation or surface-water into underground formations by methods such as water spreading, recharge through pits, shafts, wells et cetera The choice of a particular method is governed by local topographical, geological and soil conditions; the quantity and quality of water available for recharge; and the technological-economic viability and social acceptability of such schemes. In our project our study area is mainly comprised of hilly terrain with the maximum elevation at 1184m at Bodamalai(melur). With other hillocks and hills are Jarugu malai, Bodamalai, Jalluthumalai and Perumal malai, etc. In the north west of the study area, a lake is situated namely Panamaruthupatti Lake. It is a natural lake surrounded by hills by which it receives sources of water. Panamaruthupatti lake is about 3500 acres in area which provides water to Salem town before the supply of Cauvery water from Mettur. Now this source of water is used to meet the requirements in some parts of southern suburbs of Salem city and Northern part of Namakkal District upto Rasipuram Town. This source of water will support to enhance the over all augmentation of sub surface water in the study area. Now a days the supply of Cauvery water is not fulfilling the needs of people and its sub urban because of increase in population. Any improvement in ground water condition of study area will have the chance of additional supply of drinking water and also the possibility of increase in agricultural activity in and around the said village. Hence we plan to do research and propose the ideas for recharging the water to Panamarathupatti Block by using conventional method
