CHAPTER III

APPRAISAL OF GROUND WATER

3.1 Introduction

The ground water is crucial irrigation source since ages. Considering

ground water potentials in the drought prone area government has promoted

construction of well and bore well. However, overuse of ground water is well felt

in the region and hence strategy for proper utilization should be designed in the

context of rainfall, irrigation system and cropping pattern. This chapter deals with

the available ground water in the Tahsil. The source of ground water resources in

the Tahsil are wells and bore wells. There are surface water sources like rivers,

percolation tanks, K.T. wires ect. The Akole Tahsil is favored by river irrigation

on the basis of Bhandardar, Nilwande, Deothan Sangavi, Padoshi, Titavi, Waki,

Balthan dams, K.T. wires, constructed across the river channel. These provide

irrigation water and also responsible for recharging aquifers. Lift irrigation

projects are observed mainly along Pravara, Adula and Mula river. The present

chapter attempts to of quantify ground water available in the study region.

3.2 Methodology

Ground water levels have been measured though randomly selected wells

by actual survey. This has given ground water level in each village as depicted in

the map. (Fig.No. 3.1)

3.3 Available ground water resources

Ground water used in agriculture can be quantified on the basis of water

requirement of the crops grown on the basis of it. The ground water component

for a crop is nothing but the water requirement of the crop as assumed by

Saptarshi (1993), More (2008), Sonawane (2013) etc. Ground water used for a

crop = Requirement of that crop – Available rainwater in the cropping season.

This is to say that a crop grown in Kharip season is uasing less water from

well. As available of rainfall is less in rabbi and summer season consumption of

ground water is maximum. This kind of estimation has been observed in the

50

studies like More (2005), Bhagat and Saptarshi (2001)etc. This kind of estimation

requires village level data regarding hectarage of different crops under well

irrigation. This kind of information was not available in the Tahsil office.

Therefore field study has been conducted to inquire about consumption of ground

water from electrified and non electrified wells. The field observations revealed

that well irrigation supports kharip crops, for which water consumption is about

20 to 30 cm and in rabbi season about 70 to 80 cms. The crops dependent on well

irrigation are mainly jowar, bajara in kharip season jowar, wheat, corn, groundnut

in rabbi season. It may be worth to revive ground water levels and difference

sources irrigation in each village (Table No.3.1).

The present study has estimated water resources from ground water

according to the following equation:

The quantity of ground water in a village in mh. Under well irrigation = (water

requirement of crop in meter – rainfall in the cropping season in meter) *

hectarage under that crop.

The wells are main sourse of ground water in karmala thasil. The total

wells are 10433 in the tahsil . Mehenduri Village has 415 wells, highest in the

tahsil. For spatial appraisal the data depicted in the table 3.1 has been considered

as attribute information and map has been prepared (fig. 3.1). The villages having

wells more than 250 are Nimbral (251), Unchkhadak Kh.(375), Rumbhodi (256),

Kuimbhefal (411), Sugaon Bk. (291), Kalas Bk. (274), Kotul (312), Dhmangaon

56

Awari (275 etc. have also good number of wells. The villages having well less

than ten are Pendshet (05), Shinganwadi (04), Ratanwadi (06) etc.

3.3.2 Bore wells

The construction of bore wells has become quite popular in the lqst three

to four decades. The number of bore wells in Tahsil is about 4028. Kumbhefal

village has about 208 bore wells highest in the tahsil. The next is Sugaon Bk.

having about 206 bore wells. The distribution of bore wells has been shon the

map (fig No. 3.2). The dominance of bore well irrigation has been observed in the

village like Unchkhadak Bk. (176), Mehenduri (171), Kalas Bk. (171), Kotul

(168), Induri (158) Nimbral (147), Rumbhodi (131), Sugaon Kh. (117) etc.

Permitted to construct a bore well and a submercible pump within a day

or two. Secondaly, it is easu to take a bore up to the aquifer even if it is more than

200 to 300 feet below ground level. This has created environmental issues. The

old day wells are drying up as deeper aquifer is being exhausted. The use of

ground water for agriculture asould be allowed through dug well only. It such

kind of resolution is made in the gram sabha it will improve sustainability of

58

ground water. The example of Hivare Bazar is worth to understand such efforts.

The field study has reveled that the number of bore wells is increasing from 2001

in the tahsil.

3.3.3 Tanks

The tanks are another source of ground water in Akole tahsil. The total

number of tanks are 176 in the tahsil. tTahakari village has 10 thanks, highest in

the tahsil. Samsherpur village has about 9 tanks. The distribution of tanks has

been shown the map (fig No. 3.3) tanks irrigation has observed in the like village

Keli Rumhanwadi (6), Kumshet (6), Titavi (6), Manhere (6), Waki (6), Shenit

(6), Khirvire (5), Kotul (4), Hivargaon (3), Khadaki Kh. (3) etc.

59

3.3.4 Streams

Streams are an important sourse of ground water in Akole tahsil. The total

streams are 405 in the tahsil. Kumshet village has 11 streams, highest in the

thasil. The distribution of steram has shown the map (fig. no. 3.4), stream

irrigation like Shripunje Bk. (9), Shirpunje Kh. (8), Keli Otur (7), Ratanwadi (8),

Ghatghar (6), Balthan (3), Purushwadi (3), Shivajinagar (4), Khirvire (4) etc.

3.4 Research Methodology

The village of the study has been selected with the help of random

sampling technique. The micro level study has been carried out at farm level in

the selected villades. The wells and bore wells are the only source to irrigate

crops. In the irrigated area it is found that, Groundnut, Sugarcane, Wheat, Onion,

Garlic, Chilies and vegetables are taken. The unirrigated area is very large, it

totally depends on rainfasll. Jowar, Bajara, Maize, Groundnut, Paddy in this area,

but the rainfall of this area is irregular and very less. The irrigated area is totally

depended on wells and tube wells.

Often, the wells and tube wells, of this area are seen the dry in summer

and winter season. And in same way the ground water level is seen to have deep

so there is water problem also seen in this area.

This chapter deals with the study of ground water levels in selected

sample wells and bore wells. Selection of sampling stations and standard

procedures of measurement of this wells and bore wells ground water level

checking. Observation and discusses the Methodology.(fig no. 3.1)

That is why; researcher has selected 18 wells and 18 bore wells of the

Akole tahsil to studu the ground water level. These wells and bore wells have

been randomly selected from the different villages in the Akole tahsil.

Resume

This chapter has presented how the ground water resource can be

quantified with the help of methodology explained in the first chapter. It is

88

observed that is about 18 wells and 18 bore wells of available ground water level

in the thasil. However the present groundwater level is deep. This kind of

quantification can be used for developing strategy for sustainable agricultural

development in the Tahsil. The next chapter is mainly devoted for Agriculture

and well density for proper agricultural development.
