Abstract

The present paper deals with the fluctuation monitoring of seasonal groundwater open dug wells existing in the Kayampur area, located in Mandsaur district of Madhya Pradesh in India. The examination of 35 dug wells has been carried out and recorded data in respect of wells such as location, diameter, depth of well, static water levels during post-and pre-monsoon session and mode of lifting water. The well diameter varies from 3.5 to 11meters; depth of wells ranges from 8.7 to 23.5 meters b.g.l., static water levels differ pre-monsoon from 5.3 to 16.5 meters b.g.l. and post-monsoon from 1 to 5.5m. b.g.l. The seasonal fluctuation analysis of open dug wells recorded during post and pre monsoon period indicate a fluctuation range from 4 to 14.2 meter, b.g.l. The mode of lifting of water is both manual and pumping set. The ground water levels contour maps of post-and pre-monsoon periods indicate, pattern of the ground water potential zones and movement of groundwater flow direction. Probable reasons responsible for seasonal groundwater level fluctuation include geological conditions, topography, rainfall variation in amount and frequency and climatic variation.
