Abstract
Groundwater level fluctuations and trends can be used to estimate changes in aquifer storage resulting from the effects of groundwater withdrawal and recharge. These data can be used to address water management needs and to evaluate the effects of management and conservation programs. The study was divided in two periods; 1997 to 2006 — the Phase 1 and 2007 to 2016 — the Phase 2. Though the significant decline in average water levels, both in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon, were observed from Phase 1 to Phase 2 but the rate of decline in water level was not only checked from 0.102 m/yr (Phase 1) to rise at 0.056 m/yr (Phase 2) in pre monsoon season. In post monsoon season this became more prominent as decline rate of 0.308 m/yr in Phase 1 changes to rise in water level at 0.101 m/yr during Phase 2. This trend may be attributed to the construction of water conservation structures.
