This report by Aligarh Muslim University and Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) deals with groundwater flow modelling and aquifer vulnerability assessment in Yamuna–Krishni sub-basin of Muzaffarnagar district. For evaluation of the groundwater resources and for minimizing the error of estimation, the system has been evaluated through aquifer modelling where water balance is established using partial differential equation of groundwater flow and is solved with boundary and initial boundary conditions.
Few blocks of the basin are reported to be over-exploited and some are in semi-critical to critical position. The objectives of the study are –
The methodology applied to assess the water balance, uses numerical modeling and vulnerability assessment of the aquifer. Some of the following recommendations and consequences are suggested based on the findings –
