Geophysical Studies For Groundwater Harvesting In Sus Basin, Solapur District Maharashtra India.

Abstract

In Sus basin, from Solapur District (17⁰41^’ to 17⁰58^’N Latitude 75⁰20^’ to 75⁰30^’E Longitude) electric resistivity sounding has been estimated in a grid pattern. Further using these estimated values corresponding layered models were prepared and feasible, non- feasible and moderately feasible areas of different horizons (multistoried aquifers) for groundwater occurrences are demarcated. Using these models suitable rainwater harvesting structures are selected for groundwater recharge. This helped increase the groundwater level by artificial recharge.
