| Abstract | Optimum development and management of water resources of a
river basin requires quantitative assessment of the maximum
possible ground water that can be extracted from the basin ,
namely its 'safe yield' , to meet specific user requirements
without causing any undesirable result and satisfying various
physical, economic, social, environmental, legal, institutional,
a n d political constraints. A state-of-art review of various
methodologies for estimating safe yield of ground water basin sis
made. A brief assessment of the methodologies is also made from
practical point of view.
Methods and models available vary in their origin
(assumptions ) , applicability, sophistication and data needs , and
accuracy. Due to the inherent uncertainties about ground water
and the dynamic nature of safe yield, which varies with time and
specified conditions , these methods should be considered as
complimentary and successive in nature while applying to real
world problems. |
