Abstract

Groundwater recharge is the most important component in all the water balance studies and in ground water development projects as a part of sustainable groundwater management. Norms set by the Groundwater Resource Estimation Committee, GEC-2015 was used for the estimation of recharge. The study was conducted for the Bandar canal command area constituting the Krishna Central Delta in Andhra Pradesh. Following the norms of GEC-2015, the recharge was estimated for the past decade from 2012-13 to 2021-22 and it was found that recharge rate ranged from 438135.8 ha-m in the year 2015-16 to 1677730 ha-m in the year 2013-14. While computing the gross recharge, recharge attributed by rainfall, canal seepage, irrigation return flow and from the ponds/tanks are considered. Recharge estimated sheds information on replenishment and improved management of coastal aquifers where seawater intrusion is a major problem.
