Water is one of the most abundant renewable resources, and it is essential to all living things. Groundwater is one of the major sources of Water in the planet Earth. Continuous uses of water without any conservation cause lowering of Ground water level and thus living forms are facing many problems now-a-days. Due to increase in industrialisation in the state of Odisha water problem is rising its head. Using Remote Sensing and Geographic information system (GIS) methods, this research aids in the delineation of water potential zones in the Deo river watershed in Mayurbhanj district, odisha. For this, different thematic layers have been prepared and interpreted. This study may be helpful to monitor and conserve groundwater in near future.

“…The global estimate of wastewater generated in 2015 was 359.4 billion m 3 /year, out of which 63% were collected and 52% treated ( Jones et al, 2021 ). The use of effluent (treated wastewater) for irrigation is very common in many arid areas like India, Pakistan, China, Australia, Northern Nigeria, and middle eastern countries, including Israel and Saudi Arabia due to the perennial water scarcity in these areas (Jiménez and Asano, 2008a; Ajibade et al, 2021a , Ajibade et al, 2021b , Odey et al, 2021a ). In fact, the use of effluent has been substantial in western Europe (16%), and the Middle East and North Africa (15%) out of the total global production (225.6 billion m 3 /year), though with low treatment rates before reuse in developing countries ( Adelodun et al, 2019 , Adelodun et al, 2020a , Jones et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The potential use of groundwater, particularly in agricultural-based developing countries like Bangladesh, is a paramount concern to the policy-makers on groundwater resources (GWR) management perspective (Morris et al 2003; Mackay et al 2015;Salam et al, 2020a;Islam et al 2021a). In recent times, climate variability (e.g., rainfall infiltration rate, surface runoff, evaporation, and increase in temperature), rapid population increase, and over-exploitation have a detrimental effect on this valuable GWR in many drought-prone regions worldwide Cheng et al, 2016;Kalhor and Emaminejad, 2019;Yadav et al, 2020;Ajibade et al 2021). This is primarily genuine for northwest region of Bangladesh, where high population density and increasing agricultural crop production raise water demand Husna et al 2016; Islam et al, 2020).…”

Groundwater resource plays a crucial role for agricultural crop production and socio-economic development in some parts of the world including Bangladesh. Joypurhat district, the northwest part of Bangladesh, a crop production hub, is entirely dependent on groundwater irrigation. A precise assessment and prediction of groundwater level (GWL) can assist long-term GWR management, especially in drought-prone agricultural regions. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify trends and magnitude of GWL fluctuation (1980-2019) using the Modified Mann-Kendall test, Pettitt's Test, and Sen Slope estimators in the drought-prone Joypurhat district, northwest Bangladesh. Time-series data analysis was performed to forecast GWL from 2020 to 2050 using the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. The findings of the MMK test revealed a significant declining trend of GWL, and the trend turning points were identified in the years 1991, 1993, 1997, and 2004, respectively. Results also indicate that the declining rate of GWL varied from 0.104 m/yr to 0.159 m/yr and the average rate of GWL declination was 0.136 m/yr during 1980-2019. The outcomes of wavelet spectrum analysis depicted two significant periods of the declining trend in Khetlal and Akkelpur Upazilas. The results obtained from the optimal identified model ARIMA (2,1,0), indicating that GWL will decline at a depth of 13.76 m in 2050, and the average declination rate of GWL will be 0.143 m/yr in the study area. The predicted results showed a similar declining tendency of GWL from 2020 to 2050, suggesting a disquieting condition, particularly for Khetlal Upazila. This research would provide a practical approach for GWL assessment and prediction that could help decisionmakers implement long-term GWR management in the study area.
