Water Level Fluctuation in the Narangi Watershed of Vaijapur Tahsil, District Aurangabad, INDIA

Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 6

Abstract

Declining water level trends and yields of wells and drying up of shallow wells are common in many parts of India. The present study has attempted to understand the behavior of water level fluctuation by selecting a small watershed viz. Narangi watershed in the Vaijapur tahsil of Aurangabad District, Maharashtra. The average pre- monsoon groundwater level in the Narangi watershed is 9.30 mbgl to 18.80 mbgl and the average postmonsoon groundwater level ranging from 4.90 mbgl to 18.20 mbgl. The average rainfall in the area is 517.45 mm with high spatial variation. Rainfall from the basin directly converts to overland flow due to lack of tree cover, water harvesting structures and flows out of the basin. For the effective water conservation plans in the Narangi watershed area, the water conservation treatment structures like gully plugs, continuous contour trenches (CCT), earthen check dams, percolation tanks are recommended. The implementations of such structures will definitely help to combat over the scarcity situation in the area.
