The objective of the study was to analyze variability in groundwater table during two decades i.e. 1993-2013. For this purpose, groundwater depth data of 123 monitoring wells was obtained from Groundwater Cell, Rohtak. Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation method using Arc GIS software version 10.1was applied to obtain predicted values. A decline in average groundwater depth from 6.62 meters in 1993 to 7.89 meters in 2013 was noticed. Average seasonal fluctuation in groundwater table is varied from 0.7 meters to 1.5 meters during 1993 to 2013. The maximum area of Sonipat district i.e., about 1724.44 sq. km was recorded under seasonal fluctuation of 1 to 3 meters rise during June 1993 October 1993 but the maximum area of Sonipat district i.e., 1209.26 sq. km area under seasonal fluctuation of 0 to 1 meters during June 2013 to October 2013. Long term fluctuation trends in groundwater table during 1993 to 2013 revealed that there was a decline in groundwater table in four blocks out of seven blocks of the study area. The maximum fall in groundwater table was observed in Ganaur block Ganaur block expand near the bank of Yamuna River so that land of Ganaur block is a store house of fresh water. Due to fresh water withdrawal of groundwater in Ganaur block is high. There was 0.06 meter per annum decline in groundwater table in the entire Sonipat district during 1993 to 2013 in all seven blocks of the Sonipat district.

Introduction After the onset of green revolution in Haryana, the High Yielding Varieties (HYV) has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate. The district lies in the central part of seeds are required more amount of water for irrigation. The annual rainfall of of the state and having temperature regimes of hot semi-arid regions [1]. The soil the state is low and uneven with a long hot summer season and high rate of of this district are sandy to clay loam textured [6]. It is predominantly an evaporation. The same conditions also exist in Sonipat district. The normal annual agricultural district. About 70 percent of people are engaged in different rainfall of the district for the period 1901-1980 is 567 mm [2].Yamuna river flows agricultural pursuits. It is situated in the heart of green revolution belt of the state. along the eastern boundary of Sonipat district. It is a perennial river but it remains Wheat, rice, sugarcane, barley, maize and mustard are the main crops of the dry in stretches from Tajewala to Delhi because of Hathni Kund Barrage which is district [4]. The total geographical area is 2, 13,000 hectares, out of which 1, origin of two important canals, the Western Yamuna Canal and Eastern Yamuna 71,000 hectares area is cultivable. Net sown area is nearly 80.27 percent of the Canal. After Tajewala, the main channel of river Yamuna is almost dry and total area. The area sown more than once is 1, 47,000 hectares bringing the total behaves like seasonal river. Thus, the absence of perennial rivers or streams as cropped area (gross sown area) to 3, 16,000 hectares. The district has a high well as uneven and erratic rainfall makes availability of fresh water a matter of irrigation intensity of 187 percent. The net irrigated area by canals is 91,000 concern. The demand for irrigation water is always high. Advances in technology hectares and net irrigated area by tube wells is 78,000 hectares [7]. Sonipat have resulted in an enormous increase in extraction of groundwater, thereby district is a part of the Indo-Gangetic plain. It has almost a plain topography with disturbing natural groundwater balance. Rapid urbanization coupled with general slope from north to south. A natural depression exists in north and enhanced groundwater extraction for irrigation, has adversely affected the northwest of Gohana. The maximum elevation of the plain is 235 meters above groundwater resources of the study area. Thus, the question of groundwater mean sea level. As per the physiographic regions, the study area can be divided availability is important and demands a scientific action plan to ensure water into three regions namely: active floodplain, abandoned floodplain of recent past security in the study area (Sonipat district). Objective of the study was to analyze and upland plain. The study area has not much geological diversity. Sonipat variability in the depth to groundwater table of the Sonipat district during the last district is dominated by Quaternary to Recent age deposits of Indo-Gengatic two decades i.e. 1993-2013. plains. It is almost covered by alluvial deposits of clay, loam, silt and sand brought down by Yamuna River during quaternary to recent age. High-grade silica sand Study Area left behind by the change in the course of the Yamuna River is found (Geological The study area is geographically located between 28⁰48′ 15″North to 29⁰ 17′ 10″ Survey of India, 2012).

  • District Survey Report for Sustainable Sand Mining Distt. Yamuna Nagar
    DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE SAND MINING DISTT. YAMUNA NAGAR The Boulder, Gravel and Sand are one of the most important construction materials. These minerals are found deposited in river bed as well as adjoining areas. These aggregates of raw materials are used in the highest volume on earth after water. Therefore, it is the need of hour that mining of these aggregates should be carried out in a scientific and environment friendly manner. In an endeavour to achieve the same, District Survey Report, apropos “the Sustainable Sand Mining Guidelines” is being prepared to identify the areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structural and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. 1. Introduction:- Minor Mineral Deposits: 1.1 Yamunanagar district of Haryana is located in north-eastern part of Haryana State and lies between 29° 55' to 30° 31 North latitudes and 77° 00' to 77° 35' East longitudes. The total area is 1756 square kilometers, in which there are 655 villages, 10 towns, 4 tehsils and 2 sub-tehsils. Large part of the district of Yamunanagar is situated in the Shiwalik foothills. The area of Yamuna Nagar district is bounded by the state of Himachal Pradesh in the north, by the state of Uttar Pradesh in the east, in west by Ambala district and south by Karnal and Kurukshetra Districts. 1.2 The district has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate where we find seasonal rhythm, hot summer, cool winter, unreliable rainfall and immense variation in temperature.

L. Angurala, Scientist- ‘D’ GROUND WATER QUALITY Balinder. P. Singh, Scientist- ‘D’ North Western Region Chandigarh September 2016 2 FOREWORD Central Ground Water Board has been monitoring ground water levels and ground water quality of the country since 1968 to depict the spatial and temporal variation of ground water regime. The changes in water levels and quality are result of the development pattern of the ground water resources for irrigation and drinking water needs. Analyses of water level fluctuations are aimed at observing seasonal, annual and decadal variations. Therefore, the accurate monitoring of the ground water levels and its quality both in time and space are the main pre-requisites for assessment, scientific development and planning of this vital resource. Central Ground Water Board, North Western Region, Chandigarh has established Ground Water Observation Wells (GWOW) in Haryana State for monitoring the water levels. As on 31.03.2015, there were 964 Ground Water Observation Wells which included 481 dug wells and 488 piezometers for monitoring phreatic and deeper aquifers. In order to strengthen the ground water monitoring mechanism for better insight into ground water development scenario, additional ground water observation wells were established and integrated with ground water monitoring database.

  • PPT on Yamuna
    PPT ON REJUVENATION OF RIVER YAMUNA THE IMPACT OF THE YAMUNA ON LIFE AND LIVING IN DELHI The Yamuna is the most important tributary of the Ganga and its source is the Yamunotri glacier. Important pilgrimage centers like Yamunotri, Paonta Sahib, Mathura, Vrindavan, Bateshwar & Allahabad ( now Prayagraj) are located on the banks of the river. In Indian mythology Yamuna is referred as the daughter of the Sun and sister of Yama. The baby Krishna is believed to have been born on the bank of this river and is said to have freed Yamuna from “Kalia Nag.” The Yamuna’s basin is one of the most fertile and high grain yielding river basins in the country and a boon for agriculture. Apart from the Capital city Delhi, many large urban hubs and cities like Yamuna Nagar,Panipat, Sonepat, Gautam Budh Nagar, Faridabad, Mathura, Agra and Etawah are situated on the river’s banks.The challenge lies in harnessing the river to boost environmentally safe and sustainable activities. RIVER YAMUNA’S IMPORTANCE FOR LIFE AND LIVELIHOODS ➢ Yamuna as a Life Line The river water is used for drinking and agriculture by the basin states of Uttarakhand,* Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi & Rajasthan. The share of each state has been decided by a Memorandum of Understanding signed by all the states in 1994 and is being regulated by the Upper River Yamuna Board (MoWR, RD&GR.) ➢ Ground water recharge: The river helps replenish the water table by recharging it with flood water and performing important ecological functions. It sustains aquatic biodiversity and brings with it nutrient rich alluvial sedimentation full of minerals and organic matter, during the monsoon months.
