Groundwater Data Requirement and Analysis

Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, , language: English, abstract: Accurate and reliable groundwater resource information (including quality) is critical to planners and decision-makers. Huge investment in the areas of groundwater exploration, development and management at state and national levels aims to meet the groundwater requirement for drinking and irrigation and generates enormous amount of data. This article presents data requirement for groundwater studies, groundwater data acquisition, processing of groundwater data, and interpolation of field data by Kriging method.
