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.

This manual is a self-instructional publication of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), as part of its case studies in environmental medicine series. 

Implications of alternative institutional arrangements in groundwater sharing - evidence from West Bengal
The paper compares two alternative institutional arrangements in water sharing from West Bengal based on the impact they have on water buyers - in most cases small and marginal farmers Posted on 18 May, 2009 05:13 PM

Informal groundwater-based pump irrigation services markets are an all-pervasive agrarian institution in South Asia, but have been criticised for bringing about less than equitable outcomes and causing groundwater over-exploitation.

The paradox of groundwater scarcity and its implications for food security and poverty alleviation in West Bengal
The paper looks at the reasons for recent stagnation in agricultural growth in West Bengal, after the spurt during the early 1990s Posted on 18 May, 2009 05:07 PM

This paper sourced from the site Global Development Network (GDN), argues that one of the main reasons for recent stagnation in West Bengal's agriculture is the severe 'energy-squeeze' it is experiencing due to overwhelming dependence on diesel pumps, recent escalation in diesel price
