Basic course on fluorosis and fluoride removal (part 4 of 4)
This multimedia course is meant for awareness-building in a rural context regarding the fluorosis problem. Posted on 19 May, 2009 11:58 AM

The course starts from the basics of what fluoride is, sources of fluoride intake, how fluoride enters water and the symptoms of fluorosis. It explains the ways of solving this problem with a special emphasis on rainwater harvesting as a source of uncontaminated drinking water.

Use of remote sensing in groundwater modelling - a study from Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar districts in Rajasthan
The study aims at developing mathematical groundwater model for Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar districts of Rajasthan with the help of remote sensing data Posted on 19 May, 2009 11:56 AM

Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojna (IGNP) is one of the largest irrigation and drinking water projects of northwestern Rajasthan. However Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar districts are facing severe waterlogging and salinity conditions since the introduction of the IGNP canal system in that area.

Feasibility of groundwater withdrawal in coral island (Lakshadweep)- a paper in hydrological sciences
The study published in hydrological sciences assesses the impact of additional groundwater pumping on various hydrogeological parameters Posted on 19 May, 2009 11:45 AM

Groundwater on a small coral island occurs in the form of a lens floating on saline water. The freshwater lens is highly sensitive to various stresses such as pumping, sea tide, etc. Since groundwater is the only source of freshwater on the island, it is not only being utilized for various purposes but also there are growing demands for increased pumping.

Arsenic primer - guidance for UNICEF country offices on the investigation and mitigation of arsenic contamination
The manual provides information on impact of arsenic and steps for its mitigation to help ensure safe water supply in countries with high risk of arsenic contamination Posted on 19 May, 2009 11:42 AM

This manual by the UNICEF contains a synthesis of the knowledge UNICEF and its partners have gained over the last ten years in arsenic mitigation programmes in Asia, including information on the occurrence and effect

Groundwater modeling of unconfined aquifer system of crystalline area in Lapsiya watershed, Hazaribagh- a case study in GIS development
The study attempts for groundwater modelling exercise in Lapasiya watershed, Hazaribagh in Jharkhand to understand the behaviour of unconfined aquifer system with various input parameters Posted on 19 May, 2009 11:41 AM

The outcome of the model helped in identifying suitable area for groundwater augmentation on the long term. The model also helped in optimization of rate of new wells. The model has simulated up to a level to the near real field condition.
