Estimation of Groundwater Recovery by Recharge in the Agricultural Area
نویسنده
چکیده
The Kumamoto area, Kyushu, Japan has 1,041km in area and about 1milion in population. This area is a greatest area in Japan which depends on groundwater for all of drinking water. Quantity of this local groundwater use is about 200MCM during the year. It is understood that the main recharging area of groundwater exist in the rice field zone which have high infiltrate height ahead of 100mm/ day of the irrigated water located in the middle area of the Shira-River Basin. However, by decrease of the paddy-rice planting area by urbanization and an acreage reduction policy, the groundwater income and expenditure turned worse. Then Kumamoto city and four companies expended financial support to increase recharging water to underground by ponded water in the field from 2004. In this paper, the author reported the situation of recovery of groundwater by recharge and estimates the efficiency of recharge by statistical method. Keywords—Groundwater recharge, groundwater level, spring water, paddy field.

Analysis of the balance of groundwater resources in order to study the stress on the aquifer in arid areas
In this study the recharge and discharge of Isfahan-borkhar aquifer was investigated. This leads to long-term management of the aquifer and will make appropriate decisions by planners. The results of this study showed that the water table was constantly decreasing over the selected statistical period. The water table level was reduced by 0.46m per year, which reflects the fact that the aquifer ...

Abstract The coupled MODFLOW-HYDRUS software package was used to produce a saturated-unsaturated flow model for a Flood Spreading System (FSS) and its associated aquifer. The study aim to improve simulations of near-surface hydrological processes, including temporal and spatial variation in groundwater recharge rates. The coupled model was built with average RMSE=1.1 and 1.3 for calibration ...

متن کاملIdentification and Prioritization of Suitable Areas for Artificial Nutrition of Groundwater using GIS and AHP Method (Case Study: Tajan Plain)
In the coastal region reduction of groundwater is one of the most important problems. Excessive exploitation from groundwater is one of the main effective reasons that will lead to the progress of saline water, especially in seasons with low precipitation. Therefore, at the current research, identification of suitable areas for artificial groundwater recharge in the Tajan plain (with an area of...
