“…These technologies have also been used in many studies for the impact assessment of urbanization on groundwater quantity and quality (Barber et al 1996;Lawrence et al 1998;Graniel et al 1999;Kondoh and Nishiyama 2000;Jeong 2001;De Smedt and Batelaan 2003;Mapani 2005;White and Greer 2006;Khare et al 2007).…”

The perils of unplanned urbanization and increasing pressure of human activities on hydro-geomorphologic system often result in modification of the existing recharge mechanism, which leads to many environmental consequences. In the present research, an attempt has been made to investigate the applicability of remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) in dealing with spatial and temporal variability of dynamic phenomena, like urbanization and its impact on groundwater. This paper covers primarily, quantitative and qualitative impacts of urban growth on the behavior of aquifer in Ajmer city (India). Urban growth of the Ajmer city in last 17 years has been estimated from the satellite images. Database related to urbanization and groundwater has been created in GIS. Groundwater recharge has been computed using a water balance approach known as Water Level Fluctuation Methodology. Recharge estimation methodology has been implemented in GIS to introduce the spatial variability of hydro-geological characteristics. Further, temporal and spatial variations in groundwater quality and quantity have been correlated with urban growth using overlay analysis in GIS. The study reveals a general decline in water table and quality with urbanization. Further, remote sensing and GIS technologies have been found useful in assessment of spatial and temporal phenomena of urbanization and its impact on groundwater system.

Effects of agricultural activities are obvious in arid-inland regions. A numerical model for two-dimensional phreatic groundwater flow was developed based on the water budget in the Minqin oasis, a typical arid-inland region. The spatial data of source/sink terms were processed by combining global information system (GIS) and the finite element subsurface flow (FEFLOW) model. The verified results showed errors for the model of 0.37 and 0.48 m respectively in the Quanba and Huqu areas. The groundwater level changes were simulated with the developed model. The results indicate that groundwater level maintained a decreasing trend of 1.8 and 1.1m year -1 respectively in the Quanba and Huqu areas under current water resource utilisation. Therefore, further study is needed to determine the rational exploitation volume of groundwater and distribution schemes for surface water.

“…In groundwater studies, GIS is commonly used for site suitability analysis, managing site inventory data, estimation of groundwater vulnerability to contamination, groundwater flow modeling, modeling solute transport and leaching, and integrating groundwater quality assessment models with spatial data to create spatial decision support systems (Barber et al 1996). A GIS-based study was carried out by Barber et al (1996) to determine the impact of urbanization on groundwater quality in relation to landuse changes. Nas and Berktay (2010) have mapped urban groundwater quality in Konya, Turkey, using GIS.…”

Spatial distribution of groundwater quality with special emphasis on fluoride of Mandvi Taluka, Surat, Gujarat, India

2017

The present study deals with the groundwater quality with respect to F -in the Mandavi Taluka of Surat city with an objective to analyze the spatial variability of ground water quality parameter. A total 57 representative groundwater samples from different bore wells and hand pumps were collected during pre-monsoon. Samples were analyzed for various physiochemical parameters including fluoride. GIS technique is adopted to prepare DEM and spatial distribution map of fluoride to represent fluoride concentration in the study area. Results obtained from analysis with GIS mapping reveal that fluoride in the study is mainly attributed to geogenic source.
