“…In the AHP model, priority is given not only to the single element, but also to the cluster of elements that are often needed (Saaty 1999). In this paper, the AHP model was successfully used to assign relative importance to parameters that elucidate potential groundwater areas (Machiwal et al 2015;Jhariya et al 2016;Dasho et al 2017;Das et al 2017;Chakrabortty et al 2018;Das et al 2019). The main aim of this work is to identify the groundwater potential area of Purba Bardhaman district through the application AHP method and GIS technique.…”

The word water is life, so life on this planet cannot be possible without water. Water is an essential natural resource that is a surface and groundwater device for human society. The purpose of this research is to assess the groundwater potentiality of the Purba Bardhaman district. All data (primary and secondary) are collected from different sources and analyzed in geographic information system (GIS) software to prepare thematic maps. Different geo-environmental factors like as land use and land cover, soil, lithology, rainfall and distance from the river, etc., can impact on groundwater availability directly or indirectly in Purba Bardhaman area. To identify groundwater potential zones, all these factors are composed into GIS software using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method. The groundwater potential map has been divided into five classes based on their magnitude as very high, high, medium, low and very low groundwater potential zones. It shows that the areas of very low, low, medium, high and very high groundwater potential zones are 21.54%, 35.80%, 26.47%, 10.13%, 6.06%, respectively, of the total area. Finally, validation is carried out using groundwater depth data collected from 44 drilled tube wells which are located in a scattered manner for whole Purba Bardhaman district which indicates a higher similarity with an area under curve value of 86.8%.

“…PCSW representing the storage of rainwater on plant canopies that important implication for the energy and water balance of densely vegetated surface areas (Ghosh et al 2016 ). DEBS represents a crucial pathway of water loss and does not contribute to crop production (Das et al 2019 ). Moreover, all parameters are a direct and indirect impact on global to local groundwater system considering climate uncertainty (Figs.…”

“…Thus, excessive groundwater used for irrigation, domestic and various purposes (Mandal et al 2016 ). Identification of groundwater recharge potential zone based on AHP method in the critical Goghat-II block, Hooghly is available in Das et al ( 2019 ). The results show that moderate groundwater recharge (33.51%) is presented in this block because of the low lying flat plain of the northeastern portion.…”

“…The study area covers three different terrain conditions that is undulating hard rock terrain at the upper section, lateritic terrain in the middle and the lower section is alluvial in origin. Here, water bodies dry up every year mainly in the summer season during which people depend on the groundwater for various activities and worsen the situation [19] which makes it inevitable to evaluate the groundwater resource available within the region.…”

Global water demand has far exceeded the total available water resources which in turn have put a serious concern on food security. Changes in the land use and land cover scenario and rapid population growth are putting unavoidable stress over the water resources of the nation. The Indian aquifer system is facing an acute crisis due to the unscientific abstraction of groundwater for agricultural, industrial and domestic sector by the 1.3 billion growing population. To investigate the groundwater degradation, 20 wells from a river basin of West Bengal have been selected to study their seasonal groundwater level trend using Mann-Kendall test statistics from 1996 to 2018 where 60% of the wells are showing a decline in water level particularly in post-monsoon season. These wells are mainly located near the agricultural land where extraction of groundwater from submersible pumping wells is extensive as observed from socioeconomic survey. Agglomerated hierarchical cluster analysis has been executed to classify the wells based on their magnitude of fluctuation. The wells have been classified in four clusters where cluster I consists most of the wells about 15 numbers whose fluctuation ranged between 1.8 and 4.33 m below groundwater level (mbgl). Finally, Standard Groundwater Level Index has been applied to understand the groundwater drought years. Well locations like Simlapal, Bheduasol and Neradeul have a higher frequency of drought years. The recharge potential of the wells is now decreasing day by day. Such kind of studies is required and will help the stakeholders to focus on sustainable management of this valuable water resource.
