IJRRAS 4 (2) August 2010 Bhattacharya Artificial Ground Water Recharge ARTIFICIAL GROUND WATER RECHARGE WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INDIA Amartya Kumar Bhattacharya Associate Professor, Department of Applied Mechanics, Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, Howrah – 711103, West Bengal, INDIA. E-mail: amartyakumar@yahoo.co.in ABSTRACT Artificial groundwater recharge is a process by which the groundwater reservoir is augmented at a rate exceeding the augmentation rate under natural conditions of replenishment. In some parts of India, due to over-exploitation of groundwater, decline in groundwater levels resulting in shortage of supply of water, and intrusion of saline water in coastal areas ...
SURFACE IRRIGATION METHODS Dr. VIKAS GUPTA, COLLEGE OF HORTICULTURE, REHLI Irrigation: The artificial application of water to soil to assist in the production of crops, especially during stress periods. Advantages: (1)Irrigation plays vital role for the vegetative and reproductive growth of the crop in winter & summer season crop. (2)It helps the growth of crops during the period of inadequate rainfall. (3)Under low rainfall condition, irrigation is essential for the completion of Life Cycle. (4)It improves the yields of crops which mean more income for the farmers. (5)Irrigation makes it possible to grow cash crops which give good returns ...
