Abstract
Groundwater is one of the most important natural resource used for drinking, industrial, agriculture, etc. Understanding spatial and temporal variations of groundwater level throughout the basin is essential for sustainable development of groundwater resources. The objective of the present study is to analyze the spatial and temporal variations of groundwater levels in the Wainganga sub-basin. Mann–Kendall and ordinary kriging methods were used to analyze the groundwater levels with space and time. Pre- and post-monsoon groundwater levels from 1991 to 2012 were used for analysis. For the last 22 years, from the spatial variation maps, small fluctuations were observed in groundwater levels and it is found to be deeper, particularly in industrial areas. Also, temporal variation of groundwater level shows the decreasing trends.
