Abstract:
Quantification of components of water resources of an area will enable the
development of appropriate guidelines for holistic decisions on efficient utilization of
the water resources in that area. It will pinpoint the water resources potential both
spatially and temporarily in the area as a whole. Temporal groundwater fluctuation
analysis of K.C.A.E.T campus revealed the behaviour of groundwater at varying
conditions. Study thoroughly analysed the variation in depth to water table of
different wells located at different elevations of the study area. The variation caused
by the monsoon found to be distinct and prominent. During the monsoon wells
attained minimum fluctuations in depth to water table. Few days after the offset of
monsoon wells showed a drastic decline in water level. At summer the area
experienced acute groundwater shortage. The study revealed characteristics and
behaviour of groundwater at different period of time.
