Piezometric assessment for salinity in multi aquifer system in Dharoi command area, Gujarat

Abstract

Our earlier study carried out in Dharoi command area in Sabarmati River Basin, in India, defined the sensitive parameters to address the problem of water logging and salinity in the shallow aquifer, contribution of multi-aquifer system in making the scenario complex, was thus evident. Therefore, extension of the study by analyzing the piezometric data of complex lithological setup is attempted in this paper. The present paper establishes and discusses the relationships of various depth wise aquifer zones with the help of the seasonal piezometric heads and TDS values, analyzed as tracers.
