Nature of Aquifer in Parts of Granitic Terrain in Mahabubnagar District, Andhra Pradesh
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The gross ground water extraction per unit area hardly varies in sampled areas that form sman second order basins, irrespective of well density or type of wells. The number of dug wells drying-up in parts of the area is proportional to the success of the bore wells in the area. It suggests that new and deeper wells are only replacing the older, shallower dug wells and that the deeper fractured zone aquifer and shallower weathered zone aquifer are well connected.
This study also shows that the limiting factor for ground water development is not the nature of the aquifer but the quantum of recharge to it. Hence, artificial recharge structures must be planned to improve availability of ground water in the area.
