Abstract
In the present study, surface water and ground water interaction in the canal command area was performed by coupled SWAT–MODFLOW model instead of MODFLOW model only. A method was proposed wherein the properties of hydrologic response units (HRUs) in the SWAT model were assigned to the cells in the MODFLOW model. The surface water flow model using Arc-SWAT was developed. The outputs from the Arc-SWAT such as evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge were used as inputs for the MODFLOW model. Finally, the groundwater table elevation was computed from developed MODFLOW model. The reliability study was also carried out on the study area for Arc-SWAT and MODFLOW model. The proposed methodology was applied in Yamuna-Hindon inter-basin. The water table fluctuation with respect to groundwater recharge/pumping can be visualized and facilitates the future sustainable management of groundwater for irrigation purpose in the study area.
