Presentation Transcript

  1. Hydrology and Hydrogeology Hydrology? Hydrology is the science of water occurrence, movement and transport. Hydrogeology? Hydrogeology (hydro- meaning water, and -geology meaning the study of rocks) is the part of hydrology that deals with the occurrence, distribution, movement and quality of water beneath the Earth's surface.

  2. The world’s freshwater resources are under increasing pressure. Water is vital for human survival, health and dignity and a fundamental resource for human development. • Resources are scarce • Demands are outstripping supplies

  3. Population under water stress Water withdrawals have increased more than twice as fast as population growth and currently more than 1/3rd(2 billions) of world's population live in countries that experience medium to high water stress.

  4. Question: How much percent of all water is fresh?

  5. Because groundwater has proven difficult to find in many regions, it comprises only 19 percent of the fresh water currently used by the world's population. The key to finding this vast and often untapped resource is the accurate and reliable exploration program.

  6. GW is significantly less costly to develop than surface water. • GW is less susceptible to contamination than surface water • - quite often requires little or no treatment to be used as drinking water.

  7. WHERE IS GROUNDWATER?

  8. How much abstraction is feasible? - unplanned abstraction can cause groundwater lowering/mining - Aresnic To what extent groundwater interacts with surface water? GW contamination

  9. National Water Policy (1999) --- balanced use of groundwater and surface water

  10. Groundwater Movement

  11. Groundwater Movement

  12. Groundwater Movement

  13. Interaction of Groundwater and Surface Water

  14. Interaction of Groundwater and Surface Water

  15. Baseflow component of surface water flow
