Abstract :
This research focuses on the application of
piezometers with automatic water level recorders in the
context of the Atal Bhujal Yojana in Solapur, aiming to
enhance sustainable groundwater management practices
in 114 gram panchayat. The objectives include assessing
groundwater dynamics, identifying trends, and evaluating
the impact of the monitoring system on local water
management. The methodology involved a comprehensive
selection of piezometer locations based on
hydrogeological assessments, GIS analysis, community
consultation, and stakeholder input. Installation
procedures and calibration of automatic water level
recorders were detailed to ensure accurate data
collection. Key findings highlight the significance of
continuous monitoring, with identified long-term trends,
seasonal fluctuations, and spatial variations in
groundwater levels. Positive outcomes include improved
community engagement, optimized agricultural practices,
and informed decision-making, contributing to the overall
goals of the Atal Bhujal Yojana. In conclusion, the
research underscores the importance of piezometers with
automatic water level recorders in providing real-time,
precise data for sustainable water management. The
positive impact on local practices, community awareness,
and policy implementation reaffirms the effectiveness of
this approach in aligning with national groundwater
conservation initiatives.
