Whole work of groundwater management in this book has done on the basis of primary and secondary data which has collected personally from the field and different departments of water resources. Entire work of groundwater management depends upon cartographical, statistical and descriptive methods in the book. The present work has been divided into six chapters along with ‘Introduction’ which covers the objectives, statement of problems, data sources and methodology etc. The first chapter deals with hydro-geologic and physical characteristics of the study area. The second chapter under the head ‘Cultural Setting’ describes the population characteristics, land use and cropping pattern. Under the head ‘Source, Distribution and Assessment of Groundwater’, analysis of aquifer’s characteristics, water table fluctuation, hydrographs and assessment of groundwater potential have been discussed in the chapter third. Forth chapter explains the chemical characteristics of groundwater in reference to its agricultural suitability. Utilization of groundwater potential in different sectors has been described in chapter fifth. Management of groundwater resources has been discussed in chapter six in light of natural and man induced anthropogenic problems associated with groundwater, future requirement assessed for the year 2022 AD, rational use and recharge, minimizing the water losses through different irrigational methods. The dissertation ended with ‘Summary and Conclusions’. Writer hope that the book will be helpful in the study and research work of rational use and the groundwater management in different alluvial and extra-alluvial areas.
