  • Crisis of Fresh Water in South 24 Parganas District, West Bengal: Causes and Consequences
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 6, Ver. 4 (June. 2017) PP 04-15 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Crisis of Fresh Water in South 24 Parganas District, West Bengal: Causes and Consequences Mausumi Bandyopadhyay1 and Ranjan Basu2 Assistant Professor1 and Professor2Department of Geography GMSM Mahavidyalaya,Bireswarpur, South 24 Parganas1University of Calcutta, Kolkata2 Abstract:- Water scarcity occurs due to inadequacy of fresh water. It may be a physical problem initially having reflection on socio-economic profile of a community; but it affects productivity and prosperity of the people in a region. It is very difficult to overcome physical constraint of water scarcity as it depends on geo- hydrology, but proper management strategy is conducive for addressing the problem. South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal is located on the southern part of Ganges Delta. So the region is endowed with huge quantity of surface and ground water. But the typical geo-hydrology, sea water ingression, soil salinity and high content of soil clay create major problems. The management strategy adopted for this precious resource in this district is not up to the mark. So the local people have to suffer all the year round especially during the xeric period and because of waterlogging during the rainy season. In case of surface water, the volume of sweet water in river Hooghly and its tributaries are gradually decreasing and sea level is gradually rising; consequently the salinity in soil and water is gradually increasing. Among the two ground water aquifers, the upper one (70 to 160 m bgl) is brackish in nature, so it is not suitable for use.
