A STUDY OF GROUNDWATER DEVELOPMENT IN VARANASI DISTRICT USING R. C. ANALOGUE MODEL

Abstract

Ground water is derived from rainfall on the earth's surface that gradually percolates to the sub-soil through porous strata. Ground water one of the earth's important resources of water and its proper development can play an important' role in country's economy. In view of the increasing demand of water for various purposes, the ground water exploitation has been increasing and particularly for irrigation to increase agricultural production the rate of ground water development is at a very rapid rate. Though . the ground water source is a renewable .source but there must be some limit of its ex-ploitation. Over exploitation of this valuable resources may create undesirable effects in the near future like lowering down of water table and reduction of regenerated flow of the streams when pniipzgo is more than the recharge. For proper evaluation of the resources and assess-ment of possible effects it ie necessary to study the dyna-:u.c behaviours of the ground water system and such studies are greatly facilitated by Ground Water modelling by resis. tor and capacitor net work analogue.
