Groundwater behavior in relation to climatic scenario of Kharun watershed
Author(s): Lov Kumar Gupta and MP Tripathi
Abstract: Climate change poses uncertainties to the supply and management of water resources. Climate change on precipitation and surface water ultimately affects groundwater systems. Looking to the importance of groundwater use, availability in the state and major role of climate; a study on groundwater behavior in relation to climate change has been conducted for the Kharun watershed of Seonath sub-basin in Chhattisgarh. Kharun river originates from Petechua in the south-east of the Balod district. From the analysis of 30 years data of different stations of Kharun watershed, it was found that rainfall pattern and amount of rainfall both was changed and rainfall showed a slight increasing trend and the mean temperature of the all stations was increased significantly from past 30 year and the difference of temperatures was found to be 0.6 0C approx. Raipur station was found in increasing trend that means depth of water level below ground level was increased from 1992 to 2016. Groundwater availability of Kharun watershed was found 0.4842 BCM and highest availability was 0.6641 BCM in the year of 1992. Census was increased drastically and it affects all parameters directly and indirectly. Mann Kendall trend test was performed for trend analysis for each parameter.
