"Ground water must be studied carefully, used economically and conserved wisely if future requirements are to be served adequately".

(Bowen, 1980)

CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION

Next to air, water is the most essential to man and

the largest available source of fresh water lies under ground.

Increased demands for water during the last two decades have

stimulated development of ground water resources. There is

no doubt that demand of ground water for variety of purposes

will continue to grow. Thus we find that the ground water has

come of age and forms one of the vital natural resources; the

exploration, development and management of which will play a

pivotal role in the development of the area*where it occurs.

For full development of ground water reservoirs, ground water

place in the hydrologic cycle and in hydrologic system must be

evaluated. During the past decades emphasis has been given on

the management of this resource but before any resource is

managed, it must be first quantified. Hence a precise evaluation

of ground water resource of an area/basin becomes an essential

pre-requisite for its proper development for various uses and

its conservation.

Page 12: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

India has had a spectacular record of success in

achieving major increase in food production, stemming from

the introduction of high yielding varieties of wheat and

rice in the mid-sixtees what is known as the 'Green Revolution'.

India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will

be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution'

crisis. The crisis will come from India's anticipated population

growth and the food grain requirement of 235 million tonnes by

the year 2 000. If India is to provide adequate food and fibre

for a projected population of one billion by the turn of

century, crop production will have to be 2 35 million tonnes

as against, the present 145 million tonnes. There is a need

for bold strategic planning to maintain the momentum of the

•Green Revolution'. The momentum can not only be maintained

but accelerated through giving self sufficiency in grain a

top priority in agricultural planning, with an emphasis to

step up the growth rate in agricultural production and

productivity in medium and long term.

Irrigation is an important element in agricultural input

in soil-crop-water system to raise the production, this is

why high priority has been given to water resource development

in all our plans. Our water resource development prograrrane

has two main components, surface water and ground water.

Page 13: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

A total potential of 20.8 million hectares was created

during the last 34 years (1951-85) and an addition 4.3 million

hectares is expected to be created during the Seventh Five Year

Plan (1986-90) through major and medium surface irrigation

projects (Vohra, 1985).

Now coming to our ground water resources which contributes

over 50 per cent of irrigation potential created in the country.

It is, therefore of vital importance. The gross ground water 3

recharge in the country is 458 milliard m and the net utilisable

3 ground water recharge works out to be 321 milliard m . The

present.ground water utilisation in the country is 125 milliard

3 3

m leaving a balance of 196 milliard m of ground water still

available for future development and utilisation. It can be

stated that the ultimate feasible irrigation potential from

ground water resources in the country is 40 million hectares

and by the year 1979-80, 22 million hectares i.e. nearly 55%

of ultimate feasible potential are being provided irrigation

by ground water. The target for the Sixth Five Year Plan

(1980-1985) to provide irrigation by ground water to 7 million

hectares in the first two years of the Plan (1980—82), aisout

1.45 million hectare have been provided irrigation through

ground water resources. The fact that out of the total

ultimate feasible irrigation potential by all sources of 113

million hectares in the country the share of ground water is

Page 14: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

40 million hectares, clearly indicates the importance of

ground water resources in providing irrigation in the country

(Pathack, 1985).

The achievement so far in developing ground water to

meet the irrigational needs in the country are commendable.

Further, in all canal command areas in the country particularly

in Ganga Basin, excessive application of surface water has

resulted in serious conditions of water logging and soil

salinisation. In all such situations detail hydrogeological

studies involving the amount of seepage and management of

ground water reservoir are very essential. Conjunctive use

of surface and ground water will greatly help to achieve the

safe and optimum utilisation of water in such areas. The

situation demands afresh look on all our grounds water

resources in the country.

In the above context, it has become very important to

make a refind quantitative evaluation of our ground water

resources right from the block level and then at district

level. Such investigations will depict a harmonious hydro-

geological picture of the country, encompassing blockwise

occurrence, behaviour, quality, state of development, quantity

of usable ground water resource and scope of its further

development.

LOCATION, EXTENT AND COMiMUNICATION :

Aligarh is one of the most prominent district of the

Ganga-Yamuna Doab and forms a part of Centra Ganga basin.

It consists of three distinct physiographic units. The

western and eastern uplands and the central depression. The

Bijauli Block is a part of the eastern upland. The Bijauli

Block - the area under study is spread over the right bank

of the river Ganga covering an area of 4 32 sq. km. It is the

easternmost block of Aligarh district and lies between latitude

27*^50' to 28°05' N and longitudes 78°20' to 78°35' E and falls

in the Survey of India toposheet nos. 5 3 L/8, 5 3 L/12 and

54 1/5 (Plate-l). The area is well connected with the district

headquarter by metal road and regular bus service is available

frequently during the day time.

PREVIOUS WORK :

In early sixtees ground water exploration and resource

evaluation was carried out in Atrauli Block of which Bijauli

Block at that time formed a part by the Exploratory Tubewell

Organisation, Ministry of Irrigation, Government of India

which after merging with the Ground Water Division of

Geological Survey of India is now known as Central Ground

Water Board since 1972.

Rao and Raju (1965) made detailed investigation of the

hydrogeological conditions through large scale exploratory

drilling, delineation ot aquifer system and determination of

aquifer constants through conducting pumping tests and data

analysis. This study formed an ideal case history for the

ground water exploration and resource evaluation for about a

decade.

Dutt (1969) studied the hydrogeology and water logging

conditions in Aligarh district. According to him seepage from

the Ganga canals has created the water logging conditions in

the area. In view of the inter-connected nature of the aquifer

system in the area, he suggested a large scale withdrawal of

ground water through deep tubewells to serve the dual purpose

of arresting the rising trend of water table and meeting the

irrigation needs.

In early part of the present decade Ground Water

Investigation Organisation also carried out the survey and

made an attempt to quantify the resources on the district

level.

Although the general geological and ground water

conditions in Central Ganga basin are known through regional

studies carried out by Central Ground Water Board, Ministry

of Water Resources, Government of India, the detailed

information necessary for meaningful quantitative estimates

PHYSIOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE

PHYSIOGRAPHY :

From the low land of the erstwhile channels of the

Ganga, the level rises sharply to high sandy uplands which

crown the old flood bank of the river and then decades inland

gradually to a depression drained by Nim and Chhoiya beyond

which it rises again to the bank of Kali Nadi. The river Kali

cuts Atrauli tehsil from the rest of the district. Along the

right bank of Kali river is another sandy belt rising from

low and narrow Khadir of stream and is followed by a loam

soil which sinks into broad central depression. However, the

Bijauli Block under review may be divided into the following

four distinct physiographic units in the east to the west

direction t-

1. Khadir or low valleys of the Ganga.

2. Sankra Upland or Ganga-Nim Doab.

3. Nim-Chhoiya low land or depression.

4. Atrauli upland or Nim-Chhoiya mini Doab.

Page 20: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

1 . The Khadir :

It lies between riqht. iinnk o* th'- river Gangs and

Sankra upland. It extends in the northv/est to southeast

direction parallel to the bank of the Ganga. It is 1.6 km.

wide in the north which gradually increases due south to two

kilometers. The soil of Khadir is recent alluvium comprising

coarse to medium grey micaceous sand. Geomorphologically, the

Khadir consists of numerous point bar deposits with fining

upward cycles. In between these point bar deposits are

depressions which remain water logged throughout the year.

Along the western margins of Khadir flows the lower Ganga

canal perpendicular to which a series of escapes have.been

constructed to drain the excess discharge during the flood.

The Khadir is on the whole a rich tract, the finest portion

being the strip between the uplands and the canal. The Khadir

is thickly forested and form the natural habitat for the

wildlife.

2. Sankra Upland :

The Khadir is followed westward by Sankra upland which

lies between Khadir and the Nim-Chhoiya low land and extends

in northwest to southeast direction. The eastern flank of

Page 21: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

this uplan'l slopes toward t.l.- G<-'v7o while the western tl.ank

tapers towards trie Hin\-':\\, .•:.;/:^ h'-;: r-= ssion. 'VUt- Sankra upland

commence with the belt or hijh undulating ground above the

high bank. Here the soil is almost sandy in nature, ravines

are comparatively rare and are seldom extensive. This tract

is highly populated and there are numerous mango grooves in

the vicinity of the valleys.

3« Nim-Chhoiya Depression :

The sankra upland is followed by Nim-Chhoiya depression.

This low land appears to have been carved out of the upland by

Nim and Chhoiya rivers through erosion. The Nim traverse the

Block in south-easterly direction and leaves the district at

Barhari close to its junction with Kali Nadi. It always contains

water but Chhoiya a drainage channel which join it at Ramamii

remains dry except during the rainy season. There is a belt of

Khadir along the Nim, generally of fair quality but the soil

is apt to deteriorate after heavy floods especially in southern

reaches owing to saturation and appearance of reh. The country

west of this river is a fine stretch of good loam soil, extending

to sandy ridge which overlook Khadir of Kali Nadi. Through the

centre runs a depression in which soil stiffens into clay and

at places there is good deal of 'usar*, particularly southeast

of Atrauli.

4 . Atraali Upland :

The upland lying west of Nim river is fine stretch of

good loam soil which extends westward up to the Khadir (low

land) of Kali river. Atrauli upland is a part of Sankra-Atrauli

main upland lying between Khadirs of Kali and Ganga rivers,

respectively. This upland has been exposed to erosion since

coarse along the western and southern border of Atrauli tehsil

passing into Etah near Barhari. The river is not navigable but

of perennial nature and its volume is increased by surplus

water from the Ganga canals.

Of much more importance, however, is the Nim. The stream

rises in Bulandshahr, after entering Atrauli at Chakthal flows

in southerly or southeasterly direction through the east of

that sub-division, past the villages of Bijauli and Bhikampur.

At Ramamai it is joined on its right bank by a small drainage

channel called Chhoiya, which has its source to the north of

Atrauli, close to the district border and during the rains

carries off a good deal of flood water from the low ground

in its vicinity.

CLIMATE AND RAINFALL s

The Bijauli Block falls under the subtropical climatic

zone and is characterised by hot summer and chilly winter.

During summer the temperature often rises to 45 C while during

winter season mercury touches 4 C.

Rainfall :

The monsoon breaks in the second week of June, heavy

nreciDitation takes olace in the month of July and August

SOIL TYPE OF BIJAULI BLOCK s

The soil survey of the Bijauli Block was carried out

by the Department of Agriculture, Government of Uttar Pradesh

in 1953, In all, three types of soils have been reported

pertaining to three distinct physiographic units of the

Block which are as under (Agrawala and Mehrotra, 1953) :-

Page 30: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

16

i. Sandy loam

2. Sandy loam to loam

3. Loam to clay loam •

1. Sandy Loam :

The Ganga Khadir is underlain by sandy to silty loam,

which this tract receives year after year because of over­

flowing of Ganga during flood season. Generally, the deposit

is of silty nature with a varying colour from liqht grey to

ash grey. The soil is immature and has sandy to silty loam

texture.

Consequent to shallow ground water level salt

efflorescence appears to be common feature of the entire

tract which are locally called as usar. Generally the soils

are saline in nature and alkaline in reaction with a pH

usually above 8. The soil profile consist of numerous

immature stratified layers of younger soils which deposited

over one another during the flood periods of the river Ganga^

These soils have fair reserves of lime, magnesia and iron.

Lime save the soil from becoming completely salinized.

2. Sandy Loam to Loam Soil s

This soil type covers the major portion of the upland

Page 31: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

17

to deep brown and texture of the soil is sandy to good quality

loam. Usually the surface soil up to depth of 20 to 25 cm is a

well drained soil and contains loose loam that can easily be

ploughed and cultivated. The soils are more leached than the

other soil of the district because the annual rainfall in this

area is more than the other parts of Aligarh district. Percen­

tage of lime content is low and magnesia is everywhere more

than lime, calcareous nodules occurs almost everywhere in the

sab-soil. The pH ranges from 6.2 to 6.8. The upland soils are

well drained, hence soil salinization is rarely observed.

3. Loam to Clay Loam Soil :

A small portion of Block between Chharrah and the left

bank of Kali Nadi and also low valleys of Nim and Chhoiya are

covered by this soil (Plate-v) . These soils are sticky and

generally clayey loam to loam in texture. They are grey to

dark grey tending to be black when moist. The tract is

underlain by a thick pan of kankar occurring in mild cases

in the form of nodules which at places cement together forming

a stiff impenetrable rock in the bottom layers. The percentage

of clay decreases with increase in depth which shows an ideal

example of water logged soils where the impermeable sub-soil

horizon does not allow the translocation of even the finest

clay particles. Due to poor drainage the soluble sodium salts

are deposited on the surface in the form of reh. The pH value

of this soil ranges from 7 to 9. Iron and alumina remain

stationary and magnesia is little in entire profile (Agrawala,

et al., 1953).

CHAPTER-III

GEOLOGY

The study area forms a part of Ganga basin, which is

one of the strikingly important physiographic units of India

which stretches across the northern India.

Physiographically, the Ganga basin is a broad monotonous

level, expanses built up of Quaternary alluvium through which

the river Ganga and its tributaries flow sluggishly toward the

sea.

Stratigraphically, it is built up of alternate layers

of gravel, sand, silt and clays of Quaternary age. The

thickness of alluvium increases toward north. The alluvium

constitutes an asymmetric prism of sediment with its axis

of thickest deposition running close to the Himalayan foot­

hills. Extensive geological and geophysical surveys have been

carried out in Ganga basin since last three decades. As- regards

the origin of Ganga basin various shades of views are there,

some of which arB as follows.

It was interpreted to be a foredeep (Suess, 1904-1924)

or a great rift valley (Burard, 1915) filled up with alluvium

of thickness 4.5 km. (Oldham, 1917) to 20 km. (Pascoe, 1964).

A third and more recent view regards this region as a sag in

the crust. Generally, accepted view at present is that it has

Page 36: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

21

been formed by buckling down of the northern fringe of the

Peninsular Shield beneath the sediments thrust over it from

north (Krishrian, 1968).

According to Valdiya (1982) following the main Himalayan

episode, the northern flank of the platform around the Bundel-

khand Shield sagged and sagged phenomenally. The strongly

depressed platform became the site of vigorous fluvial

sedimentation. Thus the Ganga basin is a direct consequence

of compressive deformation of the northern fringe of the

Peninsula by the Himalayan orogeny.

According to Krishnan (1968) the Indo-Gangetic depression

must have been formed in the later stages of Himalayan orogeny

when the Indian Shield under thrust the Asian continent.

The sub-surface topography of the Ganga basin is an

alternation of ridges or spurs and depressions. These ridges

and spurs subdivide the Ganga basin into number of depressions

and sub-basins (Sastri, et al., 1971; Rao, 1973) which are as

follows s-

1. Hardwar-Rishikesh Spur

2 . Araval l i Horst

3 . Aligarh-Kasganj-Tanakpur Spur

4 . Rara-Ganga Depression

5 . Sarda Depression

6. Paizabad Ridge

Page 37: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

Ram-Ganga Depression :

This is limited to the northwest by Hardwar-Rishikesh

spur and to the southeast by Kasganj-Tanakpur spur which is

northern extension of Badaun Arch in Ganga valley.

The depression is marked by Schuppen structures in

major part of the area. The paleogene rock preserved in

this depression continue into Sarda Depression across

Tanakpur spur (Oil and Natural Gas Commission, 1983).

Allgarh-Kasganj-Tanakpur Spur :

This spur marks the eastern limit of Aravalli Horst.

Sarda river flows along this spur. Eastern edge of this spur

coincides with the sub-surface extension of the Great Boundary

Fault of Rajasthan where it seperates Aravalli rocks from the

Vindhyans. Analysis of structural pattern of the exposed foot­

hills and gravity anomaly and basement contour maps of the

plains suggests that these spurs are fault bound (Oil and

Natural Gas Commission, 1983) . The investigated area lies on

western flank of Aligarh-Kasganj-Tanakpur spur and South of

Ramganga depression.

SUB-SURFACE GEOLOGY OF THE AREA :

The sub-surface geology of the area as revealed by

lithological cross-section (Plate-Vl) prepared from the

lithological data of deep wells drilled by Oil and Natural

Gas Commission, at Kasganj and Ujhani and by Central Ground

Water Board at Saleempur and Aligarh. The bed rock was

encountered at Saleempur at a depth of 286.94 m.b.g.l. is

Upper Bhander Sandstone whereas in Aligarh the bed rock

encountered at a depth of 340 m.b.g.l. is a red shale, at

Kasganj and Ujhani the bed rock encountered at a depth of

620 and 967 m.b.g.l. respectively, is reddish brown limestone.

In a deep well drilled at Ujhani by Oil and Natural Gas

Commission, the meta-quartzite with sericite schist and

phyllite encountered at a depth of 2062 m.b.g.l. forms the

Basement. Further, on the eroded surface of this Basement

were deposited quartzwacke and quartz-arenite, followed by

reddish-brown argillaceous limestone, greyish-brown shale,

reddish-brown quartz-arenite. The difference in depth to bed

rock at Kasganj and Ujhani.may be due to same structural

dislocation. The Bijauli Block lies in between Kasganj and

Ujhani at the right bank of the river Ganga, hence its bed

rock may probably be the greenish-grey dolomitic limestone.

The probable depth to bed rock at Bijauli is estimated around

The probable geological sequence at Bijauli Block

based on the deep wells drilling data at Ujhani and Kasganj

is as follows :-

(After Sastri, 1971)

Quaternary Alluvium - alternate bed sand and clay with occasional bed of kankar.

Unconformity

Greenish grey dolomitic limestone Reddish brown quartz-arenite

?^,, Greyish brown shale in yan Reddish brown argillaceous limestone

Quartzwacke and quartz-arenite

Unconformity

Precambrian Metaquartzite with sericite schist and phyllite

It appears from the above sequence that on eroded surface

of the basement probably the Upper Vindhyan Bhander Group was

deposited and on eroded and upturned surface of the Upper

Vindhyan, the Quaternary alluvium comprising alternate beds

of sand and clay were deposited leading to the formation of

the present Ganga plain. There are two distinct unconformities

one between the Basement and Upper Vindhyan formation and the

CHAPTER-IV

HYDROGEOLOGY

Systematic well inventory of 9C dug ^lls, 20 shallow

and 26 deep tubewells were carried out and relevant hydro-

geological data were collected which have furnished valuable

informations on ground water regime of the area.

In order to study the occurrence and movement of ground

water in various physiographic units of the area/ depth to

water level maps, water level fluctuation map, pre and post

monsoon water table contour maps have been prepared. In

addition, lithological logs of deep tubewells (70 to 143

m.b.g.l.) were studied and utilised in the preparation of

fence diagram which depicts sub-surface geology and the

aquifer disposition in the area. Location of dug wells and

deep tubewells inventoried are given in Plate-vil.

GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS s

The coarser elastics in alluvial sequence form the major

repository of ground water in the area. Ground water in the

area occurs both under pheratic and semi-confined to confined

conditions depending upon the absence or presence of aquitard

and aquiclude as confining beds. The shallow aquifers are

pheratic in nature whereas deeper aquifers are semi-confined

to confined in nature.

The rainfall fonns the main source of ground water

recharge. Recharge also occurs through irrigation,return

flow and seepage from the Lower Ganga feeder channel, upper

Ganga canal and its distributaries act as major sources of

ground water recharge in eastern part of the area lying in

Ganga-Nim Doab.

EVOLUTION OF AQUIFERS s

The evolution of aquifers in fluvial system is dependent

upon hydrodynamics of the flow regime, geology and topography

of the terrain, leading to the terrigeneous clastic deposition

system, which are typically represented as the channel, flood

plain, and back swanp deposits.

Channel Deposit :

The typical channel deposits of the river Ganga as

observed in the study area from bottom upward comprise

coarse sand mixed with gravel through medium to fine sand

to silt and a thin clay layer at the top. This top clay and

some fine sand layers are washed away during the succeeding

flood period and a fresh body of sand with fining upward

sequence is deposited again each year, forming thereby a

reasonably thick terrigenous clastic deposits till the river

changes its course due to some tectonic control through

convulsion. These thick bodies of sand form the potential

repositories of ground water or potential aquifers.

Flood Plain Deposit s

During the flood season when the flood water overflows

the banks, medium to fine sand bodies of moderate thickness

and of limited areal extent are deposited over the flood

plain. These lenticular bodies of sand form the moderately

potential aquifers in comparison to the highly potential

aquifers of the channel deposits.

Back-Swamp Deposit or Oxbow Lake Deposit :

The flood water, further moves down the slope, to the

low lying areas where it is left predominantly with the

suspended materials which get settled und'er the influence

of gravity and form a lensoid body of sand which is further

overlain by the still finer elastics i.e. clay. Thus there

occurs enclaves of sand bodies intercalated within the under­

lying and over-lying thick clay beds. Such bodies of sand

form the poor aquifers. These aquifers are typical representa-

Thereafter the river changes its course under tectonic

control through convulsion or some other factor like earth­

quake etc. Thus with the passage of time, the position of

channel, flood plain, and back swamp deposits also continue

changing. That is why we do not get continuous body of sand

or clay except under certain extraordinary situation in a

single drill hole. The above lithological variations are

attributable to their mode of deposition by the constantly

shifting nature of the river Ganga.

The Ganga fluvial system which has generated various

aquifer in the area which are as under :-

(a) The channel deposits are thick bodies of aquifers of

infinite areal extent, hence form most potential ground

water reservoir.

(b) Flood plain deposits giving rise to the lenticular type

of aquifers, limited in thickness and areal extent and

are only moderately potential.

(c) Lensoid bodies of sand occurring as enclaves or stringers

within the thick clay bed, generally forms the low

potential aquifers often with quality problems.

We find that in a thick Ganga alluvium, the complexes

of the channel, flood plain, and Oxbow fades reappear several

times in a well drilled at places in the area. Thus the

terrigenous clastic depositional system of the river Ganga

lenticular bodies of sand trapped within thick clay beds.

Here the granular zo!ies comxjrises 15% to 2 0% of total strata

encountered down to a depth of 140 m.b.g.l.

Fine through medium to occasionally coarse sand with

slight admixture of gravels generally comprise the aquifeT

material in the area. They have various shades of grey colour

and are predominantly micaceous in nature.

On the basis of the study of geological sections,

lithology of boreholes and hydrogeological properties,

the aquifers can be described under two distinct categories.

(a) Shallow aquifers occurring within the depth of 50

meters.

(b) Deeper aquifers between 50 meters to 150 meters.

(a) Shallow Aquifers s

Shallow aquifers occur within the depth of 50 m from

land surface comprise mainly fine to medium sand. The aquifer

thickness varies from 5 to 10 meters. Ground water in this

aquifer zones occur under water table condition. These aquifers

are generally tapped by open wells, hand pumps and shallow

farmers tubewells. Due to excessive withdrawal of water from

these aquifers they are moderately strained. The discharge of 3

these wells varies from 30 to 50 m /hour at nominal drawdown

of 3 to 4.5 meters.

(b) Deeper Aquifers :

The deeper aquifers are encountered generally within

depth range of 50 to 143 m.b.g.i. The fence diagram reveals--

that the deeper aquifers are semi-confined to confined in

nature. Rao (1965) and Dutt (1969) have also observed similar

nature of deeper aquifers in the area. The tubewells tapping

the granular zones usually in depth range of 30 to 150 meters

3 3

yield from 50 m /hour to 2 27 m /hour with drawdown varying

from 1.97 to 11.72 meters. The specific capacity varies from

DEPTH TO WATER LEVEL s

Water table is the upper surface of zone of saturation

in an unconfined water body (aquifer) at which the pressure

is atmospheric. It is defined by the levels at which water

stands in wells that penetrate the aquifer, just enough to

hold standing water. However, in general the water level

standing in dug wells are considered accurate enough to

represent water table of an area.

Water level data of 90 dug wells evenly space at a

distance of one kilometer were utilised to prepare the depth

to water map of Bijauli Block (Plates-IX & X) show the depth

to water for the premonsoon (June) and postmonsoon (November)

periods (1986). In the premonsoon the depth to water ranges

from 1^7 to 12 m.h^g.l. and in the postmonsoon period it

ranges from 1.5 to 11.5 m.b.g.l. The area ha-S been divided

into six depth to water zones varying from (1) less than 2 m,

(2) 2 to 4 m.b.g.l., (3) 4 to 6 m, (4) 6 to 8 m, (5) 8 to 10 m

and (6)10tol2 m.b.g.l. The deepest water level viz. 12 m.b.g.l.

was recorded at Bijauli in the upland tract and the shallowest

1.7 m.b.g.l. at Dinapur in Ganga Khadir. A perusal of the map

shows that in the upland area the depth to water generally,

varies from 8 m to 10 m.b.g.l. which covers the major portion

of the study area, with the exception of tract along the bank

of lower Ganga canal where the depth to water ranges between

2 m to 4 m.b.g.l. This variation is the resultant of the quantum

of seepage that has been taking place eversince the commissioning

of the lower Ganga canal through the unlined canal bed and

consequently the general water table proximal to the canal

has progressively been rising.

The small narrow patch parallel to the Ganga bank is

known as the low valley of Ganga or Khadir. Here premonsoon

water level ranges between 1.7 to 2.4 m.b.g.l. and the post­

monsoon water level ranges between 1.5 to 2 m.b.g.l. In

general the above mentioned depth to water zones described

are found in confirmity with the general physiographic unit

MOVEMENT OF GROUND WATER :

Water level data of wells collected during premonsoon

and postmonsoon, were analysed and attitude of water level

with reference to the mean seal level were worked out. The

reduced level of water with reference to mean sea level were

plotted and water table contour map was prepared, with contour

interval of one meter.

The water table contour maps are very useful in

deciphering the ground water flow direction, gradient and

area of recharge and discharge. Convex contours indicate area

of ground water recharge while concave contours show tract of

ground water discharge. (Todd, 1980).

The elevation of water table ranges between 179 meters

in northwest to 169 meters in southeast above the mean sea

level. A perusal of water table contour (Plates-XI & XII) shows

that the general direction of ground water flow is from north­

west to southeast with little variation at places caused by

local factors. In western end the ground water flows from

north to south direction while in eastern part the ground

water flow from west to east. In general, the gradient varies

from 0.4 m/km to 0.6 m/km. The areas with wide contour spacing

(flat gradient) seems to possess high hydraulic conductivity

than those with narrow spacing i.e. steep gradients.

In north-eastern part of the area close to river Ganoa,

the hydraulic gradient of water is very steep i.e. 2 ;n/kii;.

This steep gradient is indicative of the two factors viz.,

(a) Heavy withdrawal of ground water,

(b) Low permeability of aquifer material.

It has been observed from the field survey that the

concentration of wells is relatively low in the eastern part

by which it could be emphasized that the steep gradient in

this tract is due to low hydraulic conductivity.

The slope of water table is towards the river Ganga

that is from west to east which depicts that the Ganga is

effluent in nature. Similarly, the river Kali which passes

through southern end of the area also shows its effluent

nature.

Plates-XI and XII show that a ground water mound has

formed in south-eastern part of the area proximal to the right

bank of Upper Ganga canal system due to excessive seepage of

surface water into the shallow aquifers through the unlined

beds of the existing canals and their distributaries. This

mound is shedding water from its eastern flank to river Ganga.

The aquifer system in this part is very much receptive of

massive seepage leading to the formation of mound.

The general hydraulic gradient is south-easterly except

in the area adjoining to Sidh and Pali villages, where a

Page 57: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

ground water trough has developed due to the concentration

of shallow and deep tubewells without any proper well spacing.

Decline in water levels has already started due to the excessive

withdrawal. The situation may aggravate in future with the

increa&ing wi4;-hdr3war of gi oiJ" water. Further study is

required to estimate the rate of annual decline of the general

water table in the area.

GROUND WATER BEHAVIOUR s

Hydrographs s

The water levels of key observation wells in the area

have been utilised for preparing continuous hydrographs of

the wells with a view to studying their behaviour with respect

to time and space and their dependence to natural phenomenon.

The hydrograph of three wells for the period 1982 to 1986 are

given in Plate-XIII. A perusal of hydrographs indicate that the

water level variations is cyclic and sinusoidal as a function

of time and space. The water levels is deepest during the month

of June and shallowest during the month of November. It is

observed that water level starts rising by last week of June

and attains shallowest level in Noveu^ier. From mid-November

onward there is sharp decline in water level till January.

From January onward the recession in water leve]. is slow

indicating natural qround watei discnarge through steady

sub-surface outflow, in harmony with regional ground water

moveme nt.

From the above discussion it will be seen that the

water level has a rising and declining trend with respect

to time and a function which causes such rises in water levels

i.e. input source of ground water (rainfall).

Water Level Fluctuation :

P1ate-XIV shows the water level fluctuation in the area.

The fluctuations are represented by way of contours of water

level difference in premonsoon and postmonsoon water levels

for the period of June and November 1986. The area is demarcated

by four water-level fluctuation zones with an interval of 0.20 m.

The maximum fluctuation of 0.80 m is recorded only in few wells

and in general, the fluctuation ranges between 0.4 to 0.6 meter.

This little change in the fluctuation is attributed to the

scanty and sporadic rainfall during 1986 monsoon season. The

upland shows deeper water level fluctuation than the Ganga

Khadir.

From the above it would be apparent that these high

fluctuation areas are also area of high relief with minor

local variations at places. As revealed from the around water

movement tnese upland tracts are the ground water recharge

areas where from ground water moves towards the Ganga and

Kali rivers or down the regional gradient i.e. due southeast.

Correlation with Rainfall :

In order to study the long range trend of water levels

as a functions of rainfall. The hydrographs of well situated

at Bijauli and Sankra have been selected, so as to have an

overall picture of ground water behaviour in the area. The

correlation of ground water levels with rainfall were made

from the data available since 1982 through 1936. The hydro-

graphs of Bijauli represents the upland area where as the

hydrograph of well at Sankra is representative of upland

margin as well as Ganga Khadir.

A critical study of hydrographs indica-tes that the

response of water levels to rainfall and droughts is

reasonably quick. The ascent of level is also greatly

affected by the intensity and distribution of rainfall

(Plates-XV & XVI ) .

A pfirusal of hydrographs reveal that at Bijauli there

is prominent response of rainfall on water level. This is

becaiise in the upland area the rainfall is the only source

of ground water recharge, and ther - is continuous discharge

of Water and the maximum decline in water table is recorded

during the months of May and June. Whereas the Sankra hydro-

graph shows that, though the rainfall effect the water level

but it is not very prominent as it is observed in Bijauli.

This is because the hydrograph well at Sankra is' situated at

the upland margin between the lower Gang a canal and river Ganga.

The shallow aquifers below the canal bed are constantly being

recharged through seepage from the lower Ganga canal and more­

over the movement of ground water is towards the river Ganga,

hence the effect of scanty and sporadic rainfall or drought is

compensated by the excessive recharge and the seasonal fluctua­

tion is not that marked as is observed at Bijauli upland. The

other way, the somewhat subdued response to rainfall can also

be attributed to the clayey nature of the formation in the

surface horizon.

CHAPTER-V

GROUND WATER BALANCE

The hydrologic equation, which is basically a statement

of law of conservation of matter as applied by hydrologic

cycle helps to define water balance. It states that in a

specified period of time all water entering a specified area

may must equal the water leaving the area plus/minus change

in storage within the area. In case of ground water system,

the water balance in its simples form may be expressed as s-

I - O = + A S

where I = Inflow

0 = Outflow

+ 4 S = Change in storage

Ground water is replinishable resource. Refined

quantitative answers are needed for drawing up plans for

its utilization, management and conservation. In Uttar

Pradesh on the one hand, there is a large scale water

logging in all the canal command areas whereas in the

tubewell irrigated areas water level shows a declining

trend due to over development. Moreover, with the adveni:

of high yielding varieties of wheat and paddy which need

assured and timely i r r i g a t i o n , has accelerated the pace of

ground water development a l so in rural a r e a s . Under the

circumstances, the s i t u a t i o n neces s i t a t e s the prec ise

eva lua t ion of ground water resource at the Block level as

the Block forms the lowest unit of adminis t ra t ion and

development in India.

In Bijauli Block, the area known as Ganga-Nim Doab or

Sankra upland i s a water-logged area because of the canals t

networks and consequent seepage, whereas the area f a l l i n g

under the Nim-Kali Doab which i s irrigated through tubewells

only. In Nim-Kali Doab, the water level at present i s yet to

touch the c r i t i c a l level but there i s a pos i t ive apprehension

that by the turn of the century i t may s tart showing a dec l in ing

trend in order to meet the ever increasing demand of water for

domestic and agriculture uses . The largest single demand on

groundwater in Bijauli Block i s i rr igat ion , amounting to 90%

of a l l groundwater uses .

The study shows that under such s i tuat ions , balance l i e s

in large scale ground water development through medium and deep

tubewells in eastern flank v i z . , Ganga-Nira Doab and recharging

the depleting aquifers through canal networks. In Autrauli

upland or Nim-Kali Doab. In order to evaluate water balance

of Bi jaul i Block, recharge and discharge have been estimated

which are as follows.

GROUND WATER RECHARGE :

Evaluation of ground water recharge parameter forms an

important aspect of ground water resource evaluation. It

involves hydrometeorological, hydrological processes taking

place on the surface and also involves complex sub-surface

lithological characteristics (Baweja, Karanth, 1980).

The major source of ground water recharge in Bijauli

Block are as under :-

1. Recharge through rainfall

2. Recharge through canal seepage

3. Recharge through irrigation return flow.

There are various methods to estimate ground water

recharges which are as follows s-

1. Seasonal Fluctuation-Specific yield

2. Water Balance Method.

In view of prevailing irrigation pattern in Bijauli

Block, the quantum of seepage to the aquifers will be very

significant, hence the estimation by seasonal fluctuation-

specific yield has been adopted for the evalua-tion of ground

water recharge in the present study.

= 42%.

In Bijauli Block only 42% of ground water resource

has so far been developed and hence it falls under the

•white' category area.

In view of only 4 2% of ground water development done

so far, there is a large ground water surplus available for

further development in the Block, which can be utilised

through the construction of at least 400 deep tubewells 3

with pumping rate of 150 m /hour with a well spacing of

250 meters, and with economic drawdown of 6.5 to 7 meters.

Besides it, about 1000 shallow tubewells having discharge

Page 74: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

3 of 50 m /hour, w;tn „ well spacinq of 150 meters may also

be constructed. As the proDable depth to bed rock in Bijauli

Block area is around 600 m.b.g.l. and the general fresh

water - saline water interface in the Central Ganga basin

lies below 750 meters, deep State tubewells can safely be

constructed from 300 to 400 m.b.g.l. utilising the huge

quantity of ground water resource which has remained untouched

so far.

With above suggestion of large scale ground water

development, a constant monitoring of the water level in

the area must be carried out simultaneously, in order to

keep watch on any adverse effect which may entail as a

consequent of heavy withdrawal on the ground water system

in the area.

CHAPTER-VI

HYDROCHEMISTRY

Ground water is generally an extreme dilute aqueous

solution of carbonates, bicarbonates, sulphate, chloride of

alkali metals and alkaline earths. The concentration of

elements in natural water is governed by several factors

like nature of strata through which they are circulating,

soil characteristics, contamination due to activities of

man etc. Briefly, the chemical quality of ground water is

an index of its complex flow history. In order to study the

quality of ground water of Bijauli Block, 48 water samples

were collected from shallow and deeper aquifers out of which

27 water sanples were analysed for major elements and 21

samples were analysed for trace elements.

In order to have water quality of surface water and

its inter-relationship with ground water, samples for detailed

analysis were also collected from rivers and canals traversing

through the study area.

METHODOLOGY :

The samples for partial chemical analysis were collected

in well cleaned and treated 250 ml capacity doubled stoppered

Page 76: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

polythene bottles. The bottles after collection o* sBmples

were capped with inner-lid and then capped and sealed with

wax on the spot,

Another group of samples were collected from selected

observation wells and tubewells in two litre capacity polythene

bottles for trace element studies. These samples were treated

at site with 10 ml 1 : 1 HNO^ and then capped and sealed with

wax as above.

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE :

The samples for partial analysis were analysed in

Geochemical Laboratory of the Department of Geology, Aligarh

Muslim University, Aligarh, following the standard methods

recommended by APHA (1973). The samples were analysed for

major elements like, Na, K, Ca, Mg, CI, carbonates and

bicarbonates. Both the anions and cations were determined

by volumetric techniques except Na, K, Ca and Mg which were

determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer ( A . A - S , ) .

The trace elements were determined at University Science

Instrumentation Centre, Roorkee University, Roorkee, using

Perkin Elmer 306 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. A blank

sample was made for each spectrophotometric analysis in order

to account for any analytical and instrumental error.

The re5ultn obtained are given in Appendix-IV and V

and are discussed below :-

Hydrogen Ion Concentration :

In general the ground water of the are'a is mildy

alkaline to highly alkaline in reaction. Generally, pH

varies from 7.5 to 8.8. The highest value of pH (8.8)

was recorded in water sanple of Dadon. pH ranges from 6.5

to 8.3 is quite safe and water remain free from corrosive

and scaling action. The pH values of ground water samples

of Bijauli Block indicate that though the ground water is

alkaline in reaction but it is well within the permissible

limits.

Electrical Conductivity j,^ mhos/cm s

Electrical conductivity is measure of the mineralisation

and is indicative of the salinity of ground water. The specific

cor»iactivity values of water samples ranges between 436 to

1600 micromhos. PIate-xvil shows the distribution of electrical

conductivity of ground water in the area.

MAJOR ELEMENTS s

Carbonates :

Carbonate is generally absent in the ground water of

the area except in the dug well of Hardoi village where the

concentration is 21 ppm. It is also present in deep tubewell

of Pusawali where its concentration is 12 ppm. In all the

other water samples carbonate was found absent.

Bicarbonate j

The bicarbonate content in ground water is dependent

upon the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in soil. Bicar­

bonate s.hows wide fluctuation depending upon CO^ pressure in

soil concentration of bicarbonate is quite independent of

aquifer characters higher concentration (891 ppm) bicarbonate

is found at Milak village. Water containing 500 ppm of bicar­

bonate considered to be fairly safe and good for irrigation

and domestic purpose, except few water samples in other

water samples its concentration is well within the range.

Sodium :

The concentration of sodium ranges from 14 ppm to 175

ppm. The highest concentration (175 ppm) of sodium was

recorded in ground water sample at Pali village. However,

the concent: rat ion of sodium was found well within the

reasonable limits.

Potassium :

The concentration of potassium varies from 5 to 75 ppm.

It is highest concentration (75 ppm) was found in ground water

san¥)les of Pithanpur and Lehra villages. The concentration of

potassium is generally low in ground water of the area. No

desirable or excessive limit for potassium concentration is

fixed 1000 to 2000 ppm seems to be extreme limit for potassium

in drinking water.

Page 82: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

Use of potassium fertilizers may be attributed as a

major source of potassium in the grouiri water of the area.

Calcium :

It is most common constituent present in ground water.

The dissolved CO^ species generally control the Ca ion

concentration in natural water (Pathak, 1980) . The concentra­

tion of Ca in ground water of the area varies from 16.4 to

84 ppm. The highest concentration was recorded in the dug

well of Charrah village. The highest desirable level of Ca

in drinking water is 75 ppm and maximum permissible level

is 200 ppm (W.H.O., 1984 and I.C.M.R., 1975). The values

recorded for calcium are well within the limits.

Magnesium s

The Indian Council of Medical Research (1975) standards

indicate an acceptable limit of 50 ppm but allow up to 100

ppm of magnesium in water. The magnesium content of ground

water samples ranges between 15.95 to 49 ppm. All values are

well within the limit. Magnesium is responsible for the

hardness of water while low concentration are not harmful.

which play a very important role in the diet of humans and

animals and in healthy growth oi plants. These metals are

known as minor or trace elements.

Trace elements like, Al, Fe, Cu, Pi>, z.rt, Cd, Cr, Sr,

Li, Ni, Co and Mo were determined in the water samples of

shallow and deep aquifer. The concentration of these trace

elements were found more in the water samples of shallow

aquifers than in the deeper aquifers. The probable cause

may be due to excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides,

house-hold refuses sewage disposal, etc. The results of

chemical analysis are given in Appendix- The range of

various trace elements is given below :-

Aluminium :

The aluminium concentration ranges from 0,11 to

1.32 ppm. The maximum (1.32 ppm) concentration of aluminium

was obtain in dug well of Sankra.

Manganese ;

The manganese concent ra t ion in the ground water sarr^les

of study area ranges from 0.41 to 0.112 ppm. Higher l eve l

(2.018 ppm) was recorded in water sample co l l ec ted from

Lehra v i l l a g e .

than the Standards of World Health Organisation (1984).

Chromium :

Concentration of chromium ranges from 0.021 to 0.228

ppm.

Strontium :

Strontium behaves very much like calcium but its

concentration was found very low. Its concentration varies

WATER QUALITY CRITERIA IN RELATION TO ITS USE :

The term quality as applied to water embraces the

combined physical, chemical and biological characteristies

and is a dominant factor in determining the adequacy of any

supply to satisfy the requirements of various water uses.

The interpretation of a chemical analyses is highly

subjective matter and is not possible to have a single

criteria that can have universal application. Therefore,

a certain accepted standard has been adopted while doing

the interpretation of chemical analysis results of water

in relation to its use. The main classes of uses are ;-

1. Domestic

2. Agricultural

3. Industrial

WATER QUALITY FOR DOMESTIC AND MUNICIPAL USES :

Various organisations all over the world, viz., USPHA

(1962), World Health Organisation (1975, 1984) and Indian

Council of Medical Research (1975) have laid down certain

guidelines for evaluation of water quality for domestic or

municipal supplies. The primary aim of these guidelines is

the protection of public health and well being of mankind.

On the same guideline the concentration of various

major and trace elemsnis encountered in the water samples

of the study area as compared with the drinking water

standards oi World Health Organisation (1984) and Indian

Council of Medical Research (1975) which is given in Table-5.

A perusal of table shows that the concentration of pH,

specific conductivity, Ca, Mg, CI, Na and K are within the

permissible limits of World Health Organisation (1984). Hence

they can not cause any hazard in drinking water of Bijauli

Block. However, the concentration of certain trace elements,

like, Cd, Pb, Cr, Fe, Al has been encountered higher than

their standard limit in drinking water. These trace elements

are probably most harmful and insidious pollutants because

of their biological, non-biodegradable nature and their

potential to cause adverse effects in human being at certain

level of exposure and absorption. The harmful effects are

linked to accumulation in biological system even in their

lowest form of development. Many workers have studied the

quality of drinking water in relation to trace elements

(Craun and Mc Cabe,- 1975; Neri, et al., 1975; Olwin, 1977;

Schroeder and Kraemer, 1974).

These studies have indicated an association between

water quality and mortality from cadiovascular and other

chronic diseases. A significant positive correlation betTrfeen

mortality from various types of cancer and concentration of

trace metals in water supplies has also been described (Berg

and Burbank, 1972; Sunderman, 1977).

Various trace elements determine in the ground water

samples of study area are discussed below ;-

Cadmium :

Cadmium has shown to be toxic to man when ingested or

inhaled. It is distributed to the most of tissues of the

body, but is found in highest concentration in the liver and

kidney.

The health aspects of cadmium have been reviewed

extensively by several workers (Fleisher, et al., 1974;

Friberg, et al., 1974; Webb, 1975, W.H.O., 1977). Acute

exposures to cadmium in humans produces different effects

depending upon the route of exposure. Among the general

population ingestion of food and fluids that have been

contaminated with cadmium resulted in acute gastrointestinal

disturbances such as nausea, vomit-ing, abdominal pain,

diarrhoea and tenesnus, etc. The concentration of cadmium

in shallow ground water samples ranges between 0.001 to

0.074 ppm. The maximum concentration of cadmium (0.074 ppm)

was found in dug well of Pali and Teathu villages of Bijauli

Block. It may be hazardous for human population of these

villages.

Lead :

Lead is a toxic metal and. tend to accumulate in the

tissue of man and animal, children and infants, fetuses

in uterus.The pregnant woman are most sensitive to environ­

mental lead exposure (W.H.O., 1977; Synder, et al., 1971)

have described the effect of lead poisoning on man. Lead

has been demonstrated to be extremely deleterious as related

to haem-biosynthesis. Chisholm (1971) and Goyer and Rhyne

(1973) have reported that elevated blood lead disrupt the

blood enzyme delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydrates (ALAD)

activity in human and can induce a reduction in haemoglobin.

The maximum concentration of lead (0.557 ppm) was

found in dug wells of Sankra. The concentration of lead

at few other places is also higher than its standard

permissible limits in drinking water (Appendix- ), Hence

the concentration of lead may also cause toxic effect on

inhabitants of the area.

have been in contact with copper container or valves (Food

and Drug Administration, 1975). However, a few patient with

Wilson's disease (heptolenticular degeneration) are adversely-

affected by the estimated average intake of copper (ScTiienberg^7

and Sternlieb, 1965).

The concentration of copper in the study area is found

well within the standard limits of World Health Organisation

(1984) .

Iron :

Iron is an essential element in human nutrition.

Drinking water is not consider to be an important source

when administered parenterally. Iron is highly toxic element

only when it crosses the permissible limit. Humans are usually

well protected from oral overdose but children from 1 to 2

years of age vulnerable to iron toxicity from ingestion of

iron supplements that have been commerically prepared for

adults (Fairbanks, et al., 1971). At places, the concentra­

tion of iron is more than its highest desirable limit in

drinking water (W.H.O., 1984). Maximum concentration of iron

was found in a dug well water of Pali (1.520 ppm). The higher

concentration of iron in ground water of the area may cause

toxic effect on public health.

Chromium :

Hexavalent chromium is much more toxic than trivalent

chromium but has no nutritional value Cr may be absored

by ingestion through the skin and by inhalation and corrosion.

Sign of toxicity by these compounds include hemor^-hage of

the gastrointestinal tract after ingestion, ul^'aration of

the nasal septum and cancer of respirator\p^tract from

inhalation and cutaneous injury upon^^'^rmal exposure

(National Academy of Science, l^^^) . In general, the

concentration of Cr"^ in s t u ^ area is within the standard

limit (W.H.O., 1984) exceQ^t at few places. The maximum

concentration of chromium (0.228 ppm) was recorded in dug

WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR IRRIGATION :

Water quality criteria for the irrigation is a complex

subject, because growth of particular crop depends on many

factors and not merely on chemistry of irrigation water.

The nature of soil, the climate, the type of crop, the

irrigation method and the local drainage conditions are

some of the factors.

In order to study the suitability of ground water in

Bijauli Block for agricultural uses, the electrical conduc­

tivity, relative proportion of sodium to other cations and

concentration of certain specific elements were analysed

and the data obtained from chemical analysis of ground

water samples were processed and interpreted on the

established guideline proposed by various scientists of

the discipline.

SALINITY AND SODIUM HAZARD :

It is well established fact that extro production or

even the germination of seed is reduced when excessive

accumulation of salt exist on agricultural soil. Irrigation

water is one of the major contributors of soluble salts in

soil in a<idition to those already present. Therefore, irri­

gation water play a major role in agricultural practices^

Page 97: iMWIFEIt SKTEN MIO eiptliiyWATER RESOURCE EyAUlATHM OF ... · India lives in 6.6 lakhs villages. Its rural sector will be facing a quiet crisis called as post 'Green Revolution' crisis

67

Among the potential hazards to crop by irrigation water is

salinity or sodium hazard.

A soil high in exchangeable sodium is very undesirable

for agriculture because it can become defloculated and tend

to have a relatively impermeable crust. This condition is

promoted by waters of high S.A.R- and reversed by waters

containing high proportion of calcium and magnesium (Hem,

1959) .

In place of rigid limits of salinity, for irrigation

water, quality is expressed by classes of relative suitabi­

lity (Wilcox, 1955). Wilcox prepared a classification based

on the electrical conductivity, per cent sodium, and boron

concentration for irrigation water which is as under s-

Table-6 j Quality classification of Water for Irrigation

(After Wilcox, 1955)

water samples fall in the class good to permissible and

excellent to good except two water samples from Pali and

Charrah villages which fall in class permissible to doubtful.

The Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) for studying the suitability

of ground water for irrigation purpose has been worked out

following the method of USSL (1954). It is defined as s-

The result obtained is given in Appendix-JVB. The SAR

and E.G. values of water samples have been plotted in Plate-XXI.

From the table and diagram it is observed that in the study-

area majority of ground water samples belong to class C^S,

of C-,S which may be used for irrigation without any problem.

Apart from useful function of major ions, need of some

trace elements are now being recognised as profoundly bene­

ficial to crops for proper growth of plants at their different

stages.

Federal Water Pollution Control Federation, U.S.A.

(1968) and Ayers and Br anson (1975) put forward tolerance

limit for irrigation water and suggested proper interpretation

of analytical data.

Micronutrient like Cu, Zn, Fe, Al, Pb, etc. are

determined in water samples. The result obtained was

compared with standard limit (FWPCF, 1968; Ayers and

Branson, 1975). The concentration of the above mentioned

trace elements in the ground water of the area well within

the permissible limits.

From the above discussion it clearly appears that the

ground water of the area is suitable for irrigation purpose.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

The Ganga basin forms one of the prominent physiographic

units of India. It formed as a result of sagging of the earth-

crust that inteirvene between the mobile belt of Himalayas and

comparatively stable Peninsular Shield which was later filled

with the sediments eroded from the newly risen Himalayas and

the Peninsula. The unconsolidated Quaternary sediments vary

in thickness from less than 50 meters at its souther margins

to 5000 meters close to the Himalayan foothills. A larger

part of the stretch of alluvial tract is occupied by Uttar

Pradesh which is further divided into four sub-zones, from

noxth to south viz., Bhabar, Tarai, Central Ganga Plain and

Marginal Alluvial Plain. These sub-zones forms the great

repository of ground water and hold the most potential aquifers

in the state. The Bhabar belt stretches parallel to the

Himalayan foothills due south up to the spring line. It

originated due to the coalescence of fan deposits comprising

bouldery strata mixed with sand which is highly transmissive,

has deep water table and recharges the deeper aquifers in

Tarai and Central Ganga Plain. The spring line defines the

northern limit of Tarai, while its southern limit imperceptibly

merges with the Centra Ganga Plain. The bed is characterised irf

predominant clayey sediments with intercalated beds of sands

and gravels, witti frequent free flowing conditions. The

southern l imi t ot the Central Ganga Plain i s fixed by Yamuna

and i t s confluence with Ganga s t r e t ch ing from West-North-Wfest

to East-South-East, t h i s sub-zone covers major p a r t of the

State encompassing the Ganga Yamuna Doab. Aligarh forms one

of the most prominent d i s t r i c t of Yamuna-Ganga Doab and i s

Kali sub-ba'Sin, forms the study area and i s known as B i j a u l i

Block.

Based on the physiography and the hydrogeological

condi t ions , the Bi jaul i Block has been divided in to four

d i s t i n c t physiographic a n i t s : -

1. Ganga-Khadir

2 . Ganga-Nim Doab

3. Nim-Chhoiya Depression

4 . Nim-Kali Doab or A t rau l i upland.

the Upper Vindhyan Group. The alluvium comprises sand, silt,

clay and kankar in varying per portion and various alternations.

The depth to bed rock as encountered by Oil and Natural

Gas Conunission at Kasganj and Ujhani are 620 m. and 967 m.b.g.l.

respectively. The peninsular grain appears to be intact up to

Kasganj but findings of lower Bhander Limestone at 967 m. depth

about 20 km east of Kasganj at Ujhani shows a structural dis­

location in between the two which is probably now occupied by

the present Ganga river. The probable depth to bed rock in

Bijauli Block may be around 650 m.b.g.l.

From the fence diagram, it is evident that there occurs

three to four tier aquifer system down to depth of 150 m.b.g.l.

in the area, "niese aquifers finally merge with each other and

behave as single bodied aquifer. Alluvium with its sizable

thickness of about 650 m. comprises clay, silt and sands of

various grades. Kankar and gravel, etc. in varying proportions.

The beds are generally lenticular and there is rapid alternations

and gradations betvreen granular and clayey materials particularly

in the south-western part of the area. There are very thick

granular zones with the thickness ranges from 50 to 90 meters.

The near surface ground water occurs under water table condition

and depth to water level varies from 2 m . to 12 m.b.g.l. while

the deeper aqxLLfers are under semi-confined to confined

conditions. On an average, the State tubewells tap a saturat:ed

granular zone of about 35 to 40 meters. The peizeosi&rrtric head

Hydraulic gradient is steeper in the east and south close to

the river Ganga and Kali than in the central and western part

of the Block, indicating that sediments are finer and have low

permeability. Further the contour behaviour shows that both

Ganga and Kali rivers are effluent in nature. Gentle gradient

is observed in the central, north-western and south-eastern

part of the area which indicates high permeability of the

sediments.

Rainfall is the main source of ground water recharge.

Besides canal seepage and irrigation return flow form the

major secondary source of recharge. Hydrographs of the

observation well indicate that the response of water level

to rainfall and drought is reasonably quick in space and time.

The ascent of level is also greatly affected by the

intensity, duration and distribution of the rainfall in the

area. An attempt has been made to evaluate the ground water

resource of the area through specific yield and water level

fluctuation method. The annual recoverable recharge has been

computed to 64.5 M.CM. The net annual draft is 27.07 M.C.M,,

leaving a balance of 37.7 M.C.M. as a utdlisable ground water

resource for future development. As per as the NABARD's norm,

the area falls under the 'white' category.

In view of the fact that only 42% of ground water

development has been done so far, there is a lairge ground

water surplus available for further development in the Block,
