1.Introduction

•Hydrology is the science which deals with occurrence , distribution and movement of water on the earth.

2. Hydrologic Cycle

Except for the deep ground water, the total water supply of earth is in constant circulation from earth to atmosphere, and back to the earth.

The earth’s water circulatory system is known as the hydrologic cyclewater from the surface like lakes, rivers, ocean, etc. converts to vapour by evaporation due to solar heat.The vapour goes o accumulating continuously in the atmosphere.This vapour is again considered due to the sudden fall of temperature and pressure.Thus clouds are formed.These clouds again cause the precipitation (i.e. rainfall)Some of the vapour is converted to ice at the peak of the mountains.The ice again melts insummer and flows as rivers to meet the sea or ocean.

These processes of evaporation, precipitation and melting of ice go on continuously like an endless chain and thus a balance is maintained in the atmosphere.This phenomenon is known as hydrologic cycle.Thus, the hydrologic cycle may be expressed by the following simplified equation

Precipitation = Run off + Evaporation (P) (R) (E)

=

Application of HydrologyThe knowledge of hydrology is very essential for the following application

1. Determination of the capacity of a reservoir from the rainfall records and the yearly discharge observation of a river.

2. Determination of peak flow of a river. (peak flood)3. Determination of suitable site for hydroelectric power generation.4. Sources of water suppy in town or city.5. Method to be adopted for the flood forecasting and flood control.6. Availability Of water for navigation.

SOURCES OF WATER

Introduction Water is a vital natural resources which forms the

basis of all life. It is the most important requirement of

plants ,animals and mankind Water also plays key role in the development of

earth’s surface,moderating climate and diluting pollution.

Atmospheric water is the key factor in combination with temperature in influencing the global ecology and as a function of hydrological cycle covering 70% of land surface,it influences weather and global climate and flora and fauna.

71% of earth surface is covered with water. The pattern of distribution of Earth’s water

resources is presented in table.

India’s water resources The basic source of water for india is the rainfall

over the most part of the country and snowfall in the northern region.

The rainfall varies from place to place and from year to year.

Normal annual rainfall varies from 100mm in Western Rajasthan to over 11000mm at Cherrapunji in Meghalaya.

The average annual rainfall for the country is about 119.4 cm depth which is nearly 4000km3.

Water resources in Gujarat

Water resources in Gujarat state are concentrated primary in the southern and central part of the mainland.

Saurashtra and kutch in the northern mainland with exceptionally high irrigation needs, have limited surface and ground water resources.

Gujarat mainland region receives an average annual of 800 to 2000 mm while saurashtra has an average annual rainfall of 400 to 800 mm.

The annual rainfall in kutch is less than 400 mm.

Types Of water sources

The available fresh water is continuously collected, purified and distributed through the hydrologic cycle.

Thus water which is available as fresh water comes from inland surface water sources (such as rivers, streams lakes and reservoirs) and ground water sources.`

A. Surface water resources Most surface water originates directly

from precipitation in the form rainfall or snow.

The various surface water sources are described as under:

1.Sea water As per earth’s water resources

distribution, the ocean contain about 97% of the total water in the world.

But as ocean water contain high concentration of salts in solution, it becomes uneconomical to make the water potable.

2.Ponds and Lakes A natural large sized depression formed

on the surface on the earth, when gets filled up with water is known as pond or a lake.

The quality of water in a lake is generally good and does not required much purification.

The quantity of water available from lakes is however, generally small.

3.Streams and Rivers Rainfall there does not evaporate or

infiltrate, runs off the surface towards the sea, in the form of streams and rivers.

River and streams are important sources of water.

The dam is constructed on a perennial river when water is used for multiple uses such as irrigation, hydropower , water supply etc.

4.Impounding reservoirs A barrier in the form of a dam is

constructed across the river, so as to form a pool of water on the upstream side of the barrier.

This pool or artificial lake formed on the upstream side of the dam is known as impounding reservoirs.

The quality of this reservoir water is not much different from that of a natural lake.

B. Sub-Surface water sources(Ground water) The main source of ground water is

precipitation. Water bearing formations of the earth’s

crusts act as conduits for transmission and as reservoirs of storage of ground water.

Types of aquifer Aquifer are mainly of two types: a). Unconfined aquifer B). Confined aquifer

a). Unconfined aquifer An unconfined aquifer is one in which a

free water surface i.e. a water table exists.

In such an aquifer, the water table varies in undulating form and in slope.

A well drilled in this type of aquifer is known as a water table well.

Confined and Unconfined aquifer

b). Confined aquifer A confined aquifer is an aquifer which is

sandwiched between two Impervious strata. The water in a confine aquifer is under

pressure. On the other hand, if the water level is

below the ground surface, the well water does not flow freely and well is called a non-flowing artesian well.

Types of water wells A water wells may be classified as : 1). Open wells or dug wells 2). Tube wells

1). Open wells Open wells are the wells which have

comparatively large diameters but law yields and are not very deep.

The diameter of the open wells usually vary from 1 m to 10 m and yield is about 20 m/hour or less.

2). Tube well A tube well is a long pipe sunk into the

ground intercepting one or more water bearing strata.

Its diameter ranges from 80 mm to 600 mm.

The tube wells may also be further classified as:

A). Shallow tube wells B). Deep tube wells

WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT

Introduction Watershed is the area of land from which

drains in to a body of water such as river,lake,stream or bay.

Watershed The area enclosed within the watershed line

is known as watershed area.

Characteristics of a watershedSeveral characteristics namely Size Shape Slope Drainage Vegetation Geology Soil Climate land useSize Sub - watershed 100-500 sq.Km. milli- watershed 10-100 sq.Km. Micro - watershed 1-10 sq.Km. Mini- watershed <1 sq.Km. The size helps in computing many parameters like rainfall received, retained

and drained off.

ShapeThe general shape are Fan shaped Leaf shaped Triangular shaped Circular shaped

Land Type of land, its altitude and physical disposition

immediately says about a watershed as to the climate and planning the activities.

Slope It controls the rainfall distribution and movement, land utilization and watershed behavior.

Climate Climate is a determining factor for the management

of all aspects of watershed.

Drainage The order ,pattern and density of drainage have a

importance influence on watershed.

Land use Land use pattern is vital for watershed development. It helps for planning, programming and implementing

a management project on a watershed.

Vegetation Detailed information on vegetation cover helps in

choosing type, mode and manner of greening the watershed.

Geology & soils Rocks and soils, together influence water storage,

movement and infiltration.

Hydrogeology It provides the information about ground water

availability in the context of conjunctive use of surface as well as ground water.

Hydrology Availability, quality and distribution of surface water is

basic to the final goal of developing a watershed.

Socioeconomics Statistics on people and their social status,helth,cattel and faiming paractices and share of participation are equally imp in developing a watershed.

Watershed development and its objectiveObjective:a) To mitigate the adverse effects of drought on

crops and livestock.b) To control desertification.c) To encourage restoration of ecological balance.d) To promote economic development of village

community.e) To increase the crop yield, to reduce the soil

loss, to harvest water resources and to increase the income of farmers.

Methods, techniques or steps involved in watershed development1) Human resource development2) Soil and land management3) Water management4) Crop management5) Afforestation 6) Rural energy management7) Livestock management

1) Human resource development The NGO staff, village watershed committees and

watershed communities have been provided trainings through on field “hands on", structured and farmer to farmer extension.

2) Soil and land management Two type in it:I. Soil conservation The soil conservation methods should be adopted in

the catchment area. II. Land management If the agricultural land is undulating the water is lost

by trapping. So the agricultural land should be properly levelled to

obtain uniform growth of plants with optimum quantity of water.

The steps or land slides in the catchment area should be detected and effective to stabilize them.

2. Method of irrigation Border- for puddy,wheat,vegetables Furrow- for cotton,sugurance,potato Basin - for orchards Sprinkler- for groundnut, vegetables Drip - for all type of crops,except paddy

5) Afforetation Planned growth of plantation and tree plantation in

wasted,restricted area is a valued aspect of greening. It prevent soil erosion.

6) Rural energy management- This reduces drudgery of rural women.- It mitigates the indoor air pollution.

7) Livestock management The livestock population in the watershed comprises

cows,bullocks,buffaloes,sheep,goats and camels. Necessary steps must be taken for their food and

health.

Water Requirement and conservation : Planning for the development of water resources

is very complex in view of the competing demand for utilization.

water is the most importance resources of a country and of the entire society as a whole since no life is possible without water.

Water requirement for different uses

Water Supply

•Municipal•Industrial

Irrigation

•Water Required For Different Crops

Hydropower

•Required for power Generation

Navigation

•Recreation

Water requirement for municipal supplies

Required by the public for various, domestic, industrial, Commercial uses and public utility purposes fire demand water losses etc.

Besides the average consumptions the peek demands are also worked out while designing public water supplies.

Water requirement for Irrigation

For proper growth and maturity of the crops, water is of vital importance throughout the crop period.

If the natural rain is sufficient and timely so as to satisfy crops requirements, no irrigation water is required for raising these crops.

Generally the seasonal rainfall can’t meet the total water requirement.

Water requirement for hydropower Generation Production of electric power by using the energy

of the flowing water is an excellent use of water as no water is consumed in it.

The construction of dam is therefore needed for the generation of this power.

It depend upon the type of area served.

Water requirement for navigation :

There should be adequate flow in the river maintain water depth.

Water is released from a storage reservoir to suction downstream flow for navigation.

The reservoir should remain nearly full during the recreation season to permit boating fishing swimming and other water sport.

Methods of conservation of water:

Domestics Conservation

Industrial Conservation

Agricultural Conservation

Domestic Conservation :

Repair all leaks quickly this way wasted water can be saved.

Turn off water when not absolutely required. Use conserving appliances which use low volume

water. Water is munch more expensive beyond some

minimum reading of water meter.

Industrial conservation :

Use such cooling system which uses less water. Reuse the cooling water for irrigation or other

purposes. Install in plant treatment measures for treating the

waste water or effluent. Develop new equipments and processes which

require less water some new techniques should be developed to

reduce the water consumption.

Agricultural Conservation:

Use improved irrigation methods such as sprinklers or drip irrigation.

Evaporation losses from small reservoirs can be reduced by providing roofs over them.

Use lined canals which reduce seepage and evaporation. Price agricultural water to encourage conservation. Infiltration losses can be reduced by sealing the soil

surface with chemicals or asphalt. Conservation of wet lands preserves natural water

storage capacity and aquifer recharge zones.
