GROUND WATER MODELING OF FARIDABAD DISTRICT, HARYANA, INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 47
Abstract
Groundwater is under stress in almost all parts of India due to rapid development in agricultural activities, industrialization, urbanization, education, improved sanitation and increase in population. These scarcities of water make groundwater more precious. Faridabad district is also marred by off and on water crisis. All the districts of Faridabad are notified by Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA). Faridabad is situated on the Delhi– Mathura National Highway No.-2 at a distance of 32 km. from Delhi, at 28° 25' 16" north latitude and 77° 18' 28" east longitude. The close inspection of four hydrographs reveals that there is distinct pattern in hydrograph behaviour. Ballabhgarh and Bhopani indicates sharp decline in water level because these monitoring wells lies in urban area. Groundwater draft has been increased on the assumption that urbanization, increase in population and industrialization will result into increased groundwater draft. Accordingly, groundwater draft has been increased for 2025 and 2050.The results from numerical groundwater modelling shows that the rate of increase if groundwater draft will adversely affect availability of groundwater resources. The western part of the district comprising Bhankri, Bajri, Ghazipur, Nagla Gujran Faridabad, Sirohi, Fatehpur, Sarurpur, Tikri, Dhoj, Paota, Alwalpur, Alampur, and Zakopur, will face severe water shortage in 2025 and 2050.
