The study area is Udaipur district, which situated in hard-rock hilly terrain of Rajasthan, India. In this study, spatio-temporal variations fifteen groundwater quality parameters are explored by box–whisker plots, trends detected and quantified, GIS-based index (GQI) computed. For the first time, scores principal component analysis (PCA) combined with geostatistical modeling following a sound methodology comprehensive manner to identify sources contamination. Box–whisker plots revealed...
Abstract. In this paper, we present and analyze a novel global database of soil infiltration measurements, the Soil Water Infiltration Global (SWIG) database. total, 5023 curves were collected across all continents in SWIG These data either provided quality checked by scientists who performed experiments or they digitized from published articles. Data 54 different countries included with major contributions Iran, China, USA. addition to its extensive geographical coverage, cover research...
Abstract Statistical analyses of hydrological time series play a vital role in water resources studies. Twenty-nine statistical tests for detecting characteristics were evaluated by applying them to analyse 46 years annual rainfall, 47 1-day maximum rainfall and consecutive 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- 6-day rainfalls at Kharagpur, West Bengal, India. The performance all the was evaluated. No severe outliers found, both found be normally distributed. Based on known physical parameters affecting...
The aim of this study was to investigate rainfall–groundwater dynamics over space and annual time scales in a hard-rock aquifer system India by employing series, geographic information geostatistical modelling techniques. Trends 43-year (1965–2007) rainfall series ten stations 16-year (1991–2006) pre-monsoon post-monsoon groundwater levels 140 sites were identified using Mann–Kendall, Spearman rank order correlation Kendall tests. quantified slope method. Furthermore, the involves novelty...
In early and mid-twentieth century, there were speculations apprehension that the Thar Desert is spreading towards east it may cover large fertile areas of present day Punjab, Haryana, west Uttar Pradesh Rajasthan. Therefore, Government India established a Afforestation Research Station at Jodhpur, Rajasthan in 1952 mainly to focus on sand dune stabilization shelterbelt plantations reduce wind erosion. 1957, was reorganized as Soil Conservation Station. Just after two years (in 1959),...
This study used hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) to delineate the spatial patterns of monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall by clustering 62 stations in western arid region India based on a 55 year (1957–2011) data set. The statistical properties clusters were computed box–whisker plots plotted. Furthermore, relative influence three geographical factors (longitude, latitude altitude) five parameters (the mean, standard deviation (SD), co‐efficient variation (CV), maximum minimum rainfall)...
In this study, we focused on precise determination of actual crop evapotranspiration (ETc) groundnut in an arid region India using single load cell-based mini-lysimeters. This for the first time, integrated two water saving techniques, i.e., pressurized irrigation system through mini-sprinklers and deficit strategy. The (var. Girnar-2) was grown lysimeter as well field plots under treatments based cumulative pan evaporation (CPE), T1 (100% CPE), T2 (80% T3 (60% CPE) T4 (40% with three...
