" To create public awareness and sensitization about groundwater amongst the and to create participatory models for scientific recharging structures of all possible aquifers in Maharashtra state."
Monitoring Objectives
Bhujal Abhiyan aims to gain an understanding of local and regional hydrogeological processes such as groundwater and surface water interactions, as well as environmental flow requirements and hydraulic connectivity.
We collect information on recharge and discharge mechanisms, rates, and timing in lowland and upland areas, short- and long-term climate change impacts, and using groundwater levels as an indicator when assessing drought and flood conditions.
Basic aquifer and basin characteristics, such as water table and potentiometric levels, hydraulic properties, and baseline groundwater chemistry
Encourage sustainable groundwater resource use and reduce conflicts among numerous groundwater users or between groundwater and surface water users by providing measures to analyze:
- water authorization decisions that consider the impact of groundwater withdrawals in specific areas in order to identify whether further groundwater withdrawal is sustainable.
- short-term and long-term local and regional effects of human activity on groundwater and surface water levels
- the formation of water budgets.
