Groundwater Resources and its Development through Artificial Recharge in Mehsana District of Gujarat State, India
Abstract: Groundwater is one of the most valuable natural resources and supports human health, economic development and ecological diversity. Timely and reliable information on occurrence, movement and deterioration of groundwater is a pre-requisite for demanded water quantity with satisfying quality. Artificial groundwater recharge plays a vital role in sustainable management of groundwater resources. The study area has been facing severe water scarcity due to scanty precipitation and intensive agriculture during the …

An Assessment of CartoDEM v1 over National Capital Region of India
Abstract: The most reliable and common source of elevation information for a given region has always been topo-sheet maps. However, other sources of elevation are now freely available with the advancement in the technology. SRTM DEM and ASTER DEM are the best examples of such freely available elevation sources. Still there is constantly a demand of better elevation data among the users. Recently, National Remote Sensing Center, India released CartoDEM v1. …

Analysis of Groundwater Quality Parameters of Part of Nanded City, Maharashtra State (India)
Abstract: In Nanded township, generally the water is drawn from the shallow aquifers. As the soil thickness is more and because of its permeable and porous nature, the effluent water percolates into the ground and contaminates the groundwater. In this assessment, the physicochemical parameters like pH, calcium, chloride, alkalinity, total hardness, and salinity are determined by following the standard procedures given by Trivedi and Goel (1986). The sources of these contaminants …

Experimental Investigation of Influence of Key-shape Variation on Discharge Capacity of Piano Key Weir
Abstract: The piano key weir is a nonlinear free flow type weir with small foundation width. There are many geometrical parameters which influence the discharge capacity of the piano key weir. As in Labyrinth weir, the piano key weir is zigzagged in a plan to increase the crest length. Overhanging on both sides reduces the foundation width of such weir. To investigate the effects of key-shape variation of piano key weirs …
