Case study: Aquifer management in the Aravalli hard rock regionThe Aravalli range crosses north-western India, where villages, farms and small towns depend on groundwater held in granite, gneiss, quartzite and other hard…
Groundwater drought and early warning indicatorsGroundwater drought is a slow-moving hydrological emergency. Rainfall may return before wells, springs, streams or village supplies recover because aquifers…
Localizing SDG 6.5 in Indian Groundwater ManagementLocalizing Sustainable Development Goal 6.5 in Indian groundwater management converts an international commitment into decisions for a particular aquifer.…
A simple infiltration test for recharge estimationA simple infiltration test gives a practical first measure of how quickly soil accepts water. It is useful for preliminary recharge potential estimation, but…
Climate projections and groundwater in Uttar PradeshGroundwater supports irrigation, domestic supply and ecosystems across Uttar Pradesh, from the Terai to Bundelkhand and the Vindhyan uplands. The impact of…
Using geophysical logs to identify aquifer boundaries and fracturesGroundwater models are only as reliable as the subsurface evidence beneath them. A sand lens may appear on a geological map yet behave quite differently from a…
Groundwater and agriculture: smarter irrigation scheduling with aquifer dataGroundwater and agriculture are closely connected wherever rainfall is variable, surface-water allocations are uncertain and crops must be irrigated through…
Arsenic removal technologies for household use: an overviewGroundwater can contain naturally occurring inorganic arsenic even when it is clear, odourless and apparently safe to drink. The Australian Drinking Water…
The underutilized potential of dug well recharge in MaharashtraMaharashtra's groundwater system is shaped by a sharp seasonal divide. Most rain arrives during the southwest monsoon from June to September, while long dry…
Safe and sustainable yields in semiarid aquifersGroundwater managers often use “safe yield” and “sustainable yield” as if they describe the same pumping limit. They do not. The first is usually a technical…
