This paper published in the journal Agricultural Engineering describes the findings of a feasibility study on groundwater recharge, which was undertaken through two recharge tube wells constructed in the bed of old Sirsa branch canal i

This article published on the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) site begins by highlighting the crucial role that groundwater plays as a decentralized source of drinking water for millions rural and urban families in India accounting for  nearly

What is fluoride removal? 

This paper from the GIS Development site mainly deals with the preparation of integrated ground water resource (IGWR) map indicating ground water prospects, quality and depth.

What is flouride?

Fluoride is one of the chemical compounds that are present in the water and soil. These fluorides are organic and inorganic compounds containing the element fluorine.

 In this paper from the GIS Development site present study, hydrogeomorphic zonation has been carried out through remote sensing technique.

In this study from the GIS Development site,  the hydrogeophysical parameters generated from vertical sounding, geohydrological, inferred fractures and geomorphic zones derived from remotely sensed data have been analysed in Kewta watershed of upper Barakar Basin, Hazaribagh. The study area is part of lower Hazaribagh plateau and is part of pediplain developed over Chotanagpur granite gneiss and meta- sedimentary.

This paper from the GIS Development site discusses the findings of a project titled " Natural Resource Management for Sustainable Utilisation of Water Resources in Siwane Sub-basin, Hazaribagh under NRDMS

What is fluorosis?

Fluorosis is a pathological condition which results from an excessive intake of fluorine, usually from drinking water. There is no medical cure or treatment for fluorosis. Prevention is the only cure.

Urban development has taken insufficient account of local hydrological and hydro-geological conditions and groundwater is often degraded because of a lack of knowledge of the aquifer system and/or uncontrolled groundwater development.
