Abstract :
Groundwater is a vital resource that plays a
significant role in sustaining many different industries.
To ensure the long-term availability of this resource, it is
essential to identify potential groundwater recharge
points within industrial premises. This study focuses on
the determination of optimal locations for groundwater
recharge within industrial sites. Through a combination
of geospatial analysis, hydrological modelling, and site-
specific assessments, potential recharge points are
identified based on factors such as land use/land cover,
soil type, hydrogeological conditions, along with rainfall
patterns. The methodology involves integrating
geographic information system (GIS) data, hydrological
modelling techniques, and field investigations. By
identifying suitable areas for groundwater recharge,
industries can implement sustainable water management
practices that enhance groundwater availability, mitigate
water scarcity, and contribute to the overall
environmental sustainability of industrial operations.
The findings of this study provide valuable insights for
decision-makers and industrial stakeholders seeking to
establish effective groundwater management strategies
within their premises. In this study, a fruit
processing/beverage industry situated in Narimogaru a
village in Puttur Taluk, DakshinaKannada District,
Karnataka is the area of study within the extent, 12°
45.69’- 12° 45.54’N, left: 75° 15.06’-75° 15.24’E and of
area 63155.5 sq. km. It was determined to have 4 main
classifications of land use/land cover, namely barren,
buildings, greenery and paved. The soil group was
identified as HSG-C and possible runoff of 105246000
million litres during the wet season of the year was
calculated from the daily rainfall data for the wet season
of the previous year.
