India water week 2016 Brainstorming: Groundwater Aquifer Mapping – Lesson Learnt India water week 2016 Brainstorming: Groundwater Aquifer Mapping – Lesson Learnt Dr. D.K.Chadha Global Hydrogeological Solutions 7 April 2016 Saline aquifer of Haryana- Disposal and Remediation

Aquifer Mapping: A broad prospective 1. Present Program: Groundwater Aquifer Mapping- for fresh water aquifers Delivering hydrogeological information in the present digital era! 2. Proposed Associated Future Program  Mapping of Inland saline aquifers For their resource evaluation and diposal  Mapping of Deep Saline Aquifers in sedimentary basins ( >700m deep) For CCS under climate change  Mapping for costal aquifers transgressing to the sea Outflow of groundwater to the sea  Offshore aquifer mapping

Haryana state covers an area of km2, only 53% of it is suitable for the groundwater development and the rest is underlined with saline groundwater. S.

UNDP PROJECT- OPTION FOR DISPOSAL OF SALINE GROUND WATER Groundwater (EC) 5000 mS/cm is used for irrigation- local soil condition and depth to water table. CONTRAINTS  accumulation of the salts in the soil  Use of saline groundwater is to be supplemented by canal irrigation.  Pre-sowing with saline water and subsequently with fresh water. 1. Use of Brackish and Saline Groundwater for Irrigation

2. Evacuation of Excess Brackish and Saline Water from Haryana through River Yamuna Yamuna river carries heavy discharge during monsoon (.7million cusecs) Low discharge 2000 cusecs Except for monsoon entire flow diverted tocanals. Brackish/saline groundwater through existing canal can be disposed in river Yamuna CONTRAINTS not possible throughout the year except monsoon months Yamuna –a riparian river, any change in quality not accepted to adjoining states Yamuna water used for drinking in NCT. UNDP PROJECT- OPTION FOR DISPOSAL OF SALINE GROUND WATER

3. Evacuation of Excess Saline Water towards the Sea by an Outfall Drain Length of the channel = 446km Lift requirement- 100m No. of pumping station = 17 CONTRAINTS Interstate disputes. Required uninterrupted continuous power supply of 1344 KWh for each pumping house and KWh for the entire channel system. Communication and transportation. Constructional and maintenance on account of sandy area prone to dust storms. UNDP PROJECT- OPTION FOR DISPOSAL OF SALINE GROUND WATER

3. OTHER OPTIONS INVESTIGATED  Conjunctive Use of Saline Groundwater with Canal Water  Water table control by subsurface horizontal drainage and shallow skimming wells  saline water table control by aforestation  preventing saline water table rise by improved farm water management  disposal of excess brackish and saline water in depressions for evaporation.

ISP Technology NEED FOR ISP TECHNOLOGY Providing desired quality water in scarcity / saline areas. Protection and improvement of environment quality of ecosystems and land use. Ensuring sustainable development, communities, and environmental protection. Preserving our precious under-ground water resources Why Desaline - ISP A large Part of the country (about 0.1 million km2 in the northern states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan & U.P) is underlain with saline aquifers. Some of these saline aquifers have also high concentration of Nitrate, Fluoride, Selenium and Arsenic which are health hazards. This technology takes care of salinity & contaminants in ground water. Brackish, saline groundwater, however, potentially provides resource which until recently has not been considered for water supplies. Desaline – ISP technology, the latest technology innovation, utilizes this resource to augment existing water supplies or to provide a high quality supply where none existed previously. It treats the saline water in the aquifer system (in – situ) itself & not discharging the ground water on the surface (no wastage of water) hence ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY.
