Dry Season Ground Water Balance Method
1.
This approach is suitable in hard rock areas where data regarding
base flow in the dry season is available or practically zero. The period from
January to May or from March to May may be used for this exercise. The
change in ground water storage in the dry season is given by the following
equation.
h x Sy
x A = DG
- Rgw
+ B
where
h = decrease in ground water level
DG
= gross ground water draft
Rgw
= recharge due to ground water irrigation
B = base flow from the area
Hence specific yield can be estimated based on the following
equation.

Construction of flow net
With the pre pumping level records, a water level elevation contour map is to
be prepared.
Distance Vs Drawdown graph of all wells to a desired time of 1000 or
10000mts or at equilibrium should be prepared.
 Equal drawdown contour map is prepared from this graph as a separate
overlay.
 Pre pumping water level map is to be superimposed on equal drawdown
contour map and the points of intersection of equal drawdown and water level
contour are to be marked and the elevation of the intersection points are
obtained.
 These intersection points are called potential points and equipotential
contours are drawn by connecting the points of equal value.
 Flow lines are drawn perpendicular to the equipotential contours while
adjusting the space between them so that the intersections will result in
curvilinear square and the flow lines converge towards the pumping well.

17
Calculating Transmissivity:
According to Darcy’s law the flow through a unit width of aquifer
normal to the plane of figure through a single flow channel between
the adjacent flow lines =∆Q=KIm.
Where K= Hydraulic Conductivity, I= Hydraulic Gradient and m =
Spacing between flow lines. As the spacing between equipotential lines is l
and the drop in head is ∆h the flow is
In the system of squares the ratio m/l=1. As the potential drop is
constant across each square ∆Q between adjacent flow lines is equal. If
there are nf
flow channels, then the total flow Q through a unit thickness of
the aquifer can be calculated using the following formula.

Calculating Transmissivity:
The amount of water pumped during an aquifer test is derived (i) from
the leakage within the zone of influence (QL
) and (ii) From the
intercepted natural flow (QN
) through the aquifer as long as unsteady
state continues.

5. Laboratory Methods:
There are many types of Laboratory Techniques which basically
depend on the saturating the sample and draining to measure the
drained water or the by weighing the samples. The most popular
methods are 1. Simple Saturation and Drainage Method, 2. Centrifuge
Moisture Equivalent Method, 3. Correlation With Particle Size Method.
These methods basically give the specific yield of the sample at the
laboratory and may not be accurate specific yield of the aquifer in the
field.
6. Simple Field Techniques:
Some of the simple techniques used in field to measure the
specific yield are Field Saturation Method, Sampling After Lowering of
Water Table and Drainage Method, Recharge Method and etc. These also
may not give accurate results in the field because of many assumptions
and constraints.

Water Level Response Analysis
Method
(Vedavati River Basin Project (1988) )From the Hydrograph the increment in the ground water
body and the corresponding rainfall events with a
reasonable time lag may be considered and the summed up
recharge is to be correlated with the rainfall.
The change in ground water body is nothing but the
change in water level multiplied by the specific yield of
the aquifer.
Best-fit line is to be plotted and the equation indicates the
relation between rainfall and the recharge.

Soil Moisture Balance Method
 The rainfall, runoff and PET data are prerequisite for this exercise.
 if the RF < PET then actual EVT losses will be equal to the RF
 if the RF >= PET then actual EVT losses will be restricted to PET.
 The balance of rainfall raises the soil moisture level to the field capacity.
 After meeting the soil moisture deficit, the excess rainfall over PET
becomes the moisture surplus.
 The saturated soil makes the moisture available for the EVT if rainfall is
below PET.
 The soil moisture is continuously depleted till it reaches the wilting point if
there is no further rainfall.
 If there is any soil moisture left at the end of the calendar year, it is carried
over to the next year.
 The surplus moisture results in surface runoff and ground water recharge.
 The actual recharge can be assessed only when the run off is gauged.

Base Flow Method
Meyboom (1961) suggested a method of determining ground water
recharge, which involves analysis of a part of the runoff
hydrograph, represents ground water recession by applying

Base Flow Method
(After K.R.Karanth)
The difference between the total potential ground water
discharge at the beginning of the recession period and the amount of
actual ground water discharge gives the remaining potential ground
water discharge. The difference between the remaining potential
ground water discharge at the end of any base flow recession and the
total potential ground water discharge at the beginning of the next
recession is the measure of the recharge takes place between these
recessions (Meyboom, 1961).

The cumulative rise in water level (hc

Nuclear Methods
 Artificial Tritium Injection Technique developed by
Zimmermann et al (1967) and Munnich (1968) can
be used for the recharge measurement.
 Tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen is
commonly used as a tracer in hydrogeological
studies.
 Tritiated water molecule (HTO) does not behave
differently from the other water molecules in the
hydrological cycle.

40
Nuclear Methods
 Tritium tagging method is based on the piston flow
model for the movement of the moisture in the
unsaturated zone of the soil.
 The piston flow model assumes that the soil moisture
moves down wards in discrete layers.
 Any fresh layer of water added near the surface due to
precipitation or irrigation would percolate by pushing
on equal amount of water beneath it further down and
so on
 such that the moisture in the last layer in the
unsaturated zone is added to the ground water regime.

41
Nuclear Methods
Rangarajan et.al, NGRI has applied this technique
in Aurepalli Watershed, Mehaboobnagar District,
Andhra Pradesh.
Tritium was injected at a depth of 80cm during
first week of June 1984 at 15 sites
Soil cores were recovered during last week of
November and First week of December, 1984.
The rainfall in the intervening period was 541mm.

42
Nuclear Methods

43
Nuclear Methods
 The Depth Vs Tritium Activity Plot for one of the sites indicates that
the difference between the depth of injection and peak activity was
39.0mm.
 The rainfall in the intervening period was 541mm.
 This indicates the recharge during this period due to the rainfall of
541mm is 39.0mm.

Infiltration Test method
 Infiltration tests are conducted with double ring
infiltrometer or single ring infiltrometer.
 Double ring infiltrometer will give more accurate results
as it provides a water curtain to stop the horizontal
dispersion of water.
 Horton (1933) established an exponential relation
between the rate of infiltration and time.
 It starts with a maximum rate of infiltration f0
and falls
to a constant rate fc
. The infiltration capacity curve
satisfies the equation.

 is plotted against t and a straight line is fitted
and used for computing the infiltration at any time.
 But this infiltration factor is not the infiltration factor
what is being used in calculating the recharge.
 Hence there is a need to have a method to establish the
rainfall factor what is being used in the assessment.
 To achieve this one should measure the height of
water refilled at the time of stabilization as I and the
original height of water column in the inner ring is T
then the infiltration factor will be .

Cumulative Rainfall Departure Method
 It is shown that the natural ground water level
Fluctuation is related to the departure of rainfall from
the mean rainfall of the preceding time.
 If the departure is positive there will be a rise in the
water level
 If it is negative there will be decline.

The gauge readings are observed at the intervals
of 15 to 30 mts Observations of time rate for the drop
of water surface are continued till the water level falls
far below FSL to determine the recession rate.
Two important factors in making the ponding loss
measurements are
(i) the channel should remain wet for sufficient
time before measurements are made to ensure that the
seepage rate is not more than the normal rate.
 (ii) Selection of the proper experimental reach,

Inflow-Outflow method
This is similar to the hydrologic balance
method.
A canal segment is selected for studying the
seepage losses.
The canal discharges at the starting point of
the canal and the ending point of the canal are
measured and the other inflow and out flow
parameters are computed separately.

Water Level Fluctuation Analysis Method
 The Fluctuations measured in the observation wells
located in the command area are multiplied with
the specific yield to calculate the point recharge,
 This is to be plotted and contoured.
 The average contour value is to be multiplied with
the area between those two contours.
 Such recharge volumes are summed up to get the
recharge due to the canal segment.
 This method is elaborated in the calculation of
infiltration from tanks/ponds with an example.

Decomposition Of Stream Hydrograph Method
(After Vedavati River Basin Project)

61
 The level of stream flow before the release of water
into canal is the original base flow from the ground
water system.
 When there is release of water into the canal, the
stream flow rises marginally
 and when the irrigation waters are released the
stream flows increase substantially
 and finally it shows a declining trend till it reaches
the original base flow level.

62
 The portion of the rising limb between the base
flow level and the marginal increase can be
attributed to the canal seepages
 The portion between this point and sudden increase
accounts for excess irrigation water reaching the
stream.
 The portion between the base flow level and the
abrupt decline on the recession limb represents the
discharging part of the ground water from the
recharging component due to applied irrigation
water.

63
Ground Water Hydrograph Analysis Method

64
 The canal opened on 06/04/1977 and was closed on 16/04/1977.
 If the canal was not operated on 06/04/1977, the water level in the
well would have continued the same trend and hence extension of
the trend indicates the bottom boundary for the canal influence.
 The water level suddenly rises after on 16/04/1977 as the release of
water for the irrigation was started.
 Hence the trend as on 16/04/1977 would have continued, if there is
no release of irrigation waters.
 Hence extension of this trend before release of water becomes the
top boundary of canal recharge.
 The area between these two lines represents the canal recharge.
 This area multiplied by the specific yield will be the canal recharge.

Radio Tracer Method
(After UNDP Ghaggar River Basin Studies )
Point dilution technique can be used to determine the seepage
rates of the canals.
A radioactive solution is injected uniformly into the entire
volume of water of well or a piezometer near a canal.
The concentration of the tracer decreases with time due to the
horizontal flow through the well.
The filtration velocity of the horizontal ground water flow in
the absence of other disturbances such as vertical flow, density
current and diffusion is given by the formula.

In this method, the paddy crop is raised under
controlled conditions in drum of standard size in
representative paddy plots.
 Drums of 0.9 X 0.9 X 1.0m dimension are widely
used.
Two drums, one with the bottom open and the other
with the bottom closed are sunk into the plot to a
depth of 75cms.
Both are filled with the same soil to field level. In
both the drums, all agricultural operations are
carried out as the surrounding plot.

75
The heights of the water columns in the drums are
maintained equal to the outside.
Water levels in the drums are measured twice a day to
determine the water losses.
 Rainfall and Evaporation data are to be recorded in the
hydro meteorological station.
The water loss from the drum with the closed bottom
gives the consumptive use, while that from the drum
with open bottom gives the consumptive use plus
infiltration.
Hence the difference in water applied gives the

Tank infiltration can be determined by application
of hydrological balance equation.
The surface water inflow into the tank is input to
the system
the outflow over the surplus weir and sluices,
evaporation and any other visible seepages will
contribute to the output to the system.
By measuring the change in the tank storage and
visible seepage and evaporation losses the infiltration
can be computed .

81
 In the command area of the tank number of key
observation wells are to be established and
monitored with respect to the storage in the tank.
 The point recharge from each of the well is
computed by multiplying the fluctuation with the
specific yield of the formation and a contour map
is prepared .
 The area in between two successive contours is
multiplied with the average contour value gives the
recharge received in that particular zone.
 Similarly recharge computed from all the zones are
summed up to get the recharge due to tank
storage.

Infiltraction Factor For Water Conservation Structures
Hydrologic Balance Method
Flow Net Analysis Method
As far as the estimation of recharge is
concerned, there is no difference in between a
tank/pond and a water conservation structure.
The only difference of interest is the norm
recommended by the GEC-1997.

89
Estimation Of Draft Parameters
 GEC-1997 methodology uses
only one draft parameter i.e. Unit
Draft.
 This depends on the type of the
abstraction structure, Potentiality
of the aquifer and availability of
electricity where ever required.
