“…The problem is most alarming in the “Doab (interfluve)” region bounded by the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. The poor water quality pervades not only the Ganga and Yamuna Rivers but also seems to be entering the associated aquifers (Misra & Mishra, 2007; Prakash et al., 2020).…”

In the past few decades, rapid population growth, increasing agricultural practices and industrialization have transformed the water ecosystem around the world (Aeschbach-Hertig & Gleeson, 2012). More than 40% world's population currently lives in water stressed river basins. Excessive groundwater exploitation in comparison to the recharge causes depletion and deterioration of groundwater resources, resulting in drying up of the lakes and rivers, etc. Due to heavy dependence of irrigation on groundwater resources many leading food grains producing countries like USA, China, India, and Australia are reaching their water resource limits. India is one of the worst affected countries facing imminent water crisis (NITI, 2018). The Ganga basin known to hold voluminous amount of groundwater in multi-layered aquifer system caters to the groundwater needs of a large population of India (Das & Tamminga, 2012;Bank, 2014). However, it is under heavy stress with a large-scale depletion and quality deterioration of the groundwater leading to environmental, economic and health issues (Asoka et al., 2017;Fendorf & Benner, 2016;Tiwari et al., 2009). The problem is most alarming in the "Doab (interfluve)" region bounded by the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. The poor water quality pervades not only the Ganga and Yamuna Rivers but also seems to be entering the associated aquifers (Misra & Mishra, 2007;Prakash et al., 2020).Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) programs are the most effective and environmental-friendly solution to achieve sustainable water security (Dillon et al., 2010). An effective MAR program necessitates high-resolution
