Dear Member,

I understand that MIKE-SHE software package does not incorporate
"density-dependent" flow simulations. Therefore, to model both surface and
sub-surface flow processes in a coastal aquifer (where seawater intrusion is a
major concern, thereby requiring density-dependent flow simulation), MIKE-SHE
can not be exclusively used.

I wonder if there are any reported case-studies/documentation available where
MIKE-SHE has been used in conjunction with FEFLOW. If yes, then how the data
exchange between MIKE-SHE and FEFLOW is managed during simulations?

Besides the MIKE-SHE and FEFLOW combination, if there are any other alternatives
(composite surface water - groundwater software package) available to model both
surface and sub-surface flow processes in a coastal aquifer?

Thanks & Regards
Kumar

Training Programme on COASTAL HYDROLOGY

14th – 26th Dec. 2009

Jointly organized by

Center for Hydrology and Groundwater Resource Management
Andhra University
Visakhapatnam – 530 003 (India)

and

Deltaic Regional Centre
National institute of Hydrology
Kakinada 533 003 (India)

The concept

The recent spurt in the use of groundwater resources in industrial and
agricultural sectors has mounted enormous pressure under water resources system.
Urban conglomerates especially the coastal belts, being highly fragile, are
under a critical situation with respect to their availability of quality natural
hazards like storm surges, tidal waves, tsunamis, though apparently rare, causes
a long standing impacts on various aspects of coastal hydrology.  The
exponential growth in agriculture sector with an unprecedented increase in the
use of groundwater for irrigation supplemented by multi-storied residential
complexes all along the coastal regions of the country, have resulted in a
permanent damage to the coastal aquifer systems almost to a point of no return.

Having realizing the urgent need to address such problems and provide trained
manpower, the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India has
supported an organization of training programme on Coastal Hydrology to provide
a comprehensive knowledge on thee coastal hydrological systems and the
associated field and laboratory techniques that can be of vital use in the
exploration development and management of coastal water resources.  Apart from
providing the basic concepts in the coastal hydrological systems and process
response parameters exploration techniques involving geophysical, nuclear, RS
techniques and GIS applications will be provided during the training.  In thee
process of data processing and interpretation algorithm used in groundwater
model studies and their implications will be given significant important to
expose the participants to the field conditions.  A field trip to visit and
study the coastal environments with reference to the groundwater systems will be
organized in Kakinada region.

Course content

The general aspects of groundwater in relation to Coastal systems are adequately
delt with including practicals.  The course includes field trips to the coastal
environments and rock formations.

The major topics that are covered:

• Coastal hydrology and processes
• Geophysical, Isotope, RS and GIS applications

Dear Dr  Kumar

geology and continuous monitoring of data on ground water levels and quality wll
show some light, having given the same, points of measurement, contour will give
direction and then hydrology will give amount or depth of flow. does the rising
trend appear in agricultural sector also. you mentioned that reduced gw
extraction, it may be theoretically, after all hydrological water balance should
also reveal it, in addition to energy balance and climatic water balance.
may you if possible, get me the actual points of observation with its
coordinates of location, data sets, may be we can try to contact central ground
water board western region, rajasthan board, and so other ngo, for gathering
similar information.
thanks and regards

Subject: [rhydrology] Rising groundwater levels in Jodhpur City, India
To: rhydrology@yahoogroups.com
Date: Saturday, August 1, 2009, 6:10 PM

Dear Friend,

Jodhpur, a major city of Western Rajasthan in India, has been experiencing the
problem of rising groundwater levels in many parts of the city for last 11
years, after commissioning of the Rajiv Gandhi Link Canal (RGLC) which brings
canal water to Jodhpur city and stores water in Kailana lake located west of
Jodhpur city. Basements of buildings are being flooded in many parts of the
city. There can be one or more of the following probable reasons for rising
groundwater levels in Jodhpur city.

(1) Seepage from Kailana lake due to presence of lineaments/joints in Rhyolite
rock.

(2) Presence of impervious sandstone basement at shallow depth below the porous
Rhyolite aquifer in the city area.

(3) Seepage from pipelines carrying lake water.

(4) Leakage of used household water from unlined drain system.

(5) Reduced groundwater extraction from existing borewells and handpumps after
commissioning of RLGC.

For the above case, what would be the appropriate methodology to find the actual
reasons for rising groundwater levels in Jodhpur city and appropriate short-term
and long-term management plans for maintaining the groundwater levels at a safe
level.

Regards
Kumar

Dear one and all

You may be well aware that rising of ground water table in any location is
attributed from the canal water supply, recharge of rain and water flowing down
the aquifer through internal flow and so to say, percolation and sideway
seepage.

cssri, karnal is the only institute so far to tackle ground water table,
waterlogging and salinity related problems. its regional station, at bharuch may
also be contacted through  the director so that its team, after authorative
approval may visit the spots and put in to its throughs and so the aftermath
approaches.

i think, being an agril engr and posted at bharuch, which has a mandate to work
in western part, particularly rajasthan may take initiative.

may be you can talk to dr. s. k. gupta, project coordinator, ex head and dr s k
kamra head irrigation and draiange engineering division at cssri karnal

skgupta@...,
skkamra@...
ggrao54@... at bharuch station

i shall be keenly interested to read about it further.

Wow, I never heard of anything quite like that!  Based on what you have said, I
would approach it based on gut feel probability.

One (1) doesn't make sense unless something happened in the just prior to eleven
(11) years ago that could have caused a change in the Rhyolite rock, . . .
earthquake.

Two (2) doesn't make sense unless eleven years ago a policy or something changed
that allowed shallow basements to be constructed below the Rhyolite aquifer
layer.

Three (3) is interesting, but if the water level is rising at a detectable
level, then I would think some sort of mass balance with the water being
transported from the lake could determine that, compare pumped water from the
lake with water received at the treatment plant, or even water at the meter. 
Ditto for four(4).

I don't understand five(5).  I think that given my uninformed response, it is
the process of elimination and you should start elminating based on the lowest
cost to eliminate to the highest cost to eliminate.

Dear Friend,

While climate change affects surface water resources directly through changes in
the major long-term climate variables such as air temperature, precipitation,
and evapotranspiration, the relationship between the changing climate variables
and groundwater is more complicated and poorly understood. The greater
variability in rainfall could mean more frequent and prolonged periods of high
or low groundwater levels, and saline intrusion in coastal aquifers due to sea
level rise.

Groundwater resources are related to climate change through the direct
interaction with surface water resources, such as lakes and rivers, and
indirectly through the recharge process. The direct effect of climate change on
groundwater resources depends upon the change in the volume and distribution of
groundwater recharge. Therefore, quantifying the impact of climate change on
groundwater resources requires not only reliable forecasting of changes in the
major climatic variables, but also accurate estimation of groundwater recharge.
Quantification of the groundwater recharge will help in taking appropriate
adaptation strategies due to the impact of climate change.

There have been many studies relating the effect of climate changes on surface
water bodies. However, very little research exists on the potential effects of
climate change on groundwater.  The scientific understanding of an aquifer's
response to climate change has been studied in several locations within the past
decade. These studies link atmospheric models to unsaturated soil models (such
as Visual HELP), which were further linked into a groundwater model (Modflow).
The groundwater models used were calibrated to current groundwater conditions
and stressed under different predicted climate change scenarios. The
HELP-MODFLOW approach proceeds in the following manner -

1. Synthetic generation of daily values of precipitation, mean temperature, and
solar radiation (using a weather generator) for projected climate change.

2. Estimation of groundwater recharge based on available precipitation and
temperature records and anticipated changes to these parameters (using Visual
HELP).

3. Quantification of the spatially distributed recharge rates using the climate
data and spatial soil survey data.

4. Simulation of groundwater flow using each recharge data set and evaluation of
the changes in groundwater flow and levels through time.

Regarding the above approach, I would like to know the views of learned members
on the following aspects -

(a) Which is the most appropriate method to downscale GCM outputs for a basin?

(b) If there are any flaws associated with HELP-MODFLOW methodology (described
above) mostly used by various researchers during last few years?

(c) If the runoff generation process (rainfall-runoff modelling) needs to be
essentially incorporated in the study?

(d) Whether instead of HELP, distributed unsaturated modelling (Richards
equation) should be done for climatic impact studies? What are the relative
advantages of using HELP (e.g. simplistic approach and ease of use) and
disadvantages of distributed modelling (e.g. extensive data requirement and
large computation resources) and vice versa?

(e) Whether any comprehensive overland-unsaturated-saturated model such as
MIKE-SHE can be used for studying the impact of climate change on groundwater
recharge? And relative advantages and disadvantages?

I look forward for the comments on above.

Regards
Kumar

Sir,

As an introduction, I was a research scholar at Department of
Hydrology, IIT Roorkee; presently working as Lecturer under
Department of Natural Resources, TERI University. I am looking after
the University Placement Cell as well. As a member of all the three
hydrology groupmails under your moderation, I felt that a posting
would be of immense help for the students of MSc in Water Resources
Management for their 5 months project as well as final placement,
given the learned group it connects worldwide. May I request you to
kindly post the following in the Hydrology Groupmails.

Dear Sir,

Greetings from TERI University!

As you might be aware, the Department of Natural Resources at TERI
University is offering three masters programmes- MSc (Environmental
Studies), MSc (Natural Resources Management) and MSc (Water Resources
Management).

These programmes are of 2 years duration with 4 semesters. Between
2nd and 3rd semester i.e. the summer break, students undertake a
minor project, which carries 4 credits. In the 3rd semester, students
specialize in their respective streams i.e. Environmental studies /
Natural Resources Management / Water Resources Management (details of
the courses are available on website www.teriuniversity.ac.in ). The
fourth semester is devoted for a major project, which carries 20
credits and is to be carried out in 5-month duration (1st Jan, 2009 -
30th May, 2009).

The provision of major project aims to widen the student's
perspective by providing an exposure to real life issues related to
conservation, management, policy, and economics of natural resources.
It enables the students to understand and apply the interdisciplinary
relationships to tackle various issues related to environment/natural
resources. Evaluation is based on a project report and open
presentation that the students submit/make at the end of the project.

Past graduates from the University have interned at and been placed
in reputed organizations such as ACC Limited, Bharat Petroleum, ITC,
Grasim, Ecosecurities, ATREE, BILT, Coca Cola, IOCL, NEERI, Senergy
Global, Shree Cement, WWF, UNDP, WINROCK, UNESCO, Emergent Ventures,
WaterAid India, IL&FS Ecosmart, SGS India etc.

The placement process for this academic year has already started in
the newly built campus at 10, Institutional Area, Vasant Kunj. The
objective of this mail to seek your suggestions on possible
employment and/or project assignments in your organization, where you
can involve and guide our students. Brief information regarding the
students' interest and academic backgrounds are presented in the
brochure attached.

I look forward to a long and mutually benefiting relationship between
your organization and TERI University.

With best regards,

Dear Dr. Kumar

you may please refer to work of dr s k kamra from cssri, karnal
he may be contacted at kamra@...

moreover, cwc has suggested algebric approach.

i assume measurement through piezometers over a long range and contiuous would
suffice recharge values

i shall write to you on fri night a set of procedures for battery operated
measurement will help you. gwrdc, a groupd under hydrology worked on
measurement.

Good Day,

I invite suggestions from the learned members regarding most

appropriate methods to estimate groundwater recharge from artificial

recharge and rainwater harvesting structures (such as anicuts, field

bunds, gabions etc) in a hard rock area for studying their impacts on

groundwater resources. Whether any specific softwares are available

for such purpose?



Copies/links to any relevant literature (case studies/papers/ web

resources) or software will also be useful.



Thanks & Regards

Kumar
