(3) S.V.N.Rao (Roorkee, India)
(4) V.V.S. Gurunadha Rao (Hyderabad, India)
(5) Michael Jorgensen (Australia)
I am prompted to seek further suggestions for the
following issues in modelling the seawater intrusion
in coastal aquifers.
(a) How to model the effect of salt pans on
groundwater in coastal areas?
(b) How to incorporate the evaporation from open water
surfaces (e.g. to define time-variant boundary
condition in case of rivers) and evaporation from
shallow groundwater table?
(c) How to model the effect of brackish water in
rivers (due to tidal backwater effect from sea) on
groundwater in coastal areas?
(d) How to develop correlation between resistivity
values and TDS and between resistivity values and
hydraulic conductivity.
(e) Suitability of Kriging, Akima and Inverse Distance
Weighting techniques for interpolation/regionalization
of different parameters/variables.
Any suggestions for the above will be helpful for
extension of this (or similar) study in future.
There is a small errata in the report - title of
figure 7 may be read as "Measured Values of Hydraulic
Conductivity (*10E-4 m/s)" - the multiplier was
missing.

International Training and Research Program:
Groundwater Governance in Theory and Practice
Call for Groundwater Management Fellows
The International Water Management Institute led
Challenge Program on Water and Food project:
“Groundwater Governance in Asia: Capacity Building
through Action Research in the Indo-Gangetic (IGB) and
Yellow River Basins (YRB)” invites Fellows for the
training and research program on Groundwater
Governance and Management.
International Training and Research Program:
“Groundwater Governance in Asia: Theory and Practice”
Period (tentative): November 13, 2007 to March 30,
2008 (inclusive of classroom sessions, cross-cutting
research, field visits and concluding workshops)
Host: International Water Management Institute (IWMI),
New Delhi office; Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT), Roorkee (Uttaranchal) and other partners with
workshops in other basin countries
Basin Countries: Bangladesh, China, India, Nepal, and
Pakistan
Organizer: International Water Management Institute
(IWMI), Sri Lanka and its regional offices and partner
organizations in the basin countries
Background
Globally, groundwater has made tremendous contribution
to human welfare. The Indo-Gangetic basin and Yellow
River basins between themselves use around 300 km3 of
groundwater with value of groundwater used/year
estimated at $13.8 billion. Sustaining the massive
welfare gains groundwater development has created
without ruining the resource is a key water challenge
facing the millions of farmers and water resource
managers of these basin countries. The capacity and
skills of groundwater managers need to be
significantly enhanced to rise to the challenge of
governing the ‘colossal anarchy’ spawned by
groundwater use.
This training and research program sets out to address
the pertinent and very pressing issues of groundwater
management. The rationale is that groundwater is an
‘endangered species’ that is threatened from overuse
and degradation from many sides and that needs and
merits attention, appreciation and protection from all
of its users as well as the public suppliers and
management professionals and institutions.
The course targets people involved in groundwater use
and management at various levels and functions.
Individuals with positions within groundwater
development and management, groundwater research,
capacity building and awareness raising will be
invited in order to foster an inter-disciplinary
understanding, communication, debate and partnership
on the tackling of relevant and practical groundwater
issues in the regions covered by the project.
Who is eligible to participate?
Junior and senior professionals and managers involved
actively in groundwater management and research in the
five project countries (Bangladesh, China, India,
Nepal, and Pakistan, desirably working in basin
regions, Fig.1) are eligible to apply and participate
in the program. Preferably, the applicants should be
affiliated with an established and recognized
organization or institution in the region involved
actively and mandated with groundwater management and
research. Professionals working with Central/ State
Groundwater Boards and related water resources
departments, institutes, universities, INGOs/ NGOs/
donor agencies and all those interested in groundwater
management and governance are encouraged to apply.
People involved in media coverage (content development
and dissemination) on development and environmental
issues and associated with a well-established and
recognized media organization are also invited to
apply.
Course content and training program for Junior Fellows
The Course consists of two parts:
A four week intensive class room course; and
A 12-week training/ crosscutting research program
under live field conditions
The first part will cover theoretical as well as more
case/ region oriented aspects of groundwater, giving
both fundamental introductions to the physical
behavior and characteristics of groundwater, its use
for agricultural production, social sciences,
economics and institutions, policies and governance;
scientific methods in research and field visits.
Delivery of the course shall be through a
well-balanced illustrative and conjunctive treatment
of the various themes through case presentations,
simulation games, field trips and discussion sessions.
There shall be ample opportunities for cross-learning
the regional perspectives of groundwater among the
participants from different countries.
Cross-Cutting Research (CCR)- the practical fieldwork
based component of the course is a 12-week program
that involves three components- five weeks of field
work followed by five weeks of data entry and analysis
and two-weeks of report writing and presentation
workshops. Participants shall be encouraged to go back
to their individual country to do a small but well
planned study or investigation on a specific issue
that either provides them with better knowledge and
tools to pursue their function after the course or it
may be a research topic that fits into a larger
research component of the project that is led by IWMI.
During the first phase, the participants will select
very interesting topics related to resource
characterization and use, sharing mechanisms, formal
and informal water institutions, energy and pricing
mechanisms, groundwater pollution problems. During the
CCR phase the fellows will investigate, through
questionnaires, surveys and data collection, how
groundwater is actually being used and how it relates
to water availability, land use; agriculture, water
and energy policies and other socio-economic factors
in selected regions of the two basins. In the process,
the fellows would directly apply the knowledge gained
at the classroom-training program on the complex
realities of groundwater governance in Asia and
capture the same in the form of group reports/ case
studies and individual theme papers.
Training Program for Senior Managers and Professionals
(Senior Fellows)
The Program for the senior fellows will be of
four-weeks duration and comprise of the following two
components:
One-week exposure to the high level sessions on
management and policy implications of groundwater
governance and the global best practices.
Three-week action research/ study visits to advanced
countries (Australia and/or USA etc. ) in order to
retrieve as much knowledge and information on
groundwater management practices in the host country
to understand some fundamental practices/ processes,
conflicts and challenges faced in groundwater
governance and the specific ways, policies and tools
which have been developed and employed in these
developed countries. Fellows will get a fair
opportunity to interact with a cross section of active
stakeholders in groundwater governance and management
at different levels.
During and at the end of the visit the fellows will
develop individual reports on these learning and
contextualize these experiences for their own settings
in the respective countries. During the first phase of
the Course the senior Fellows visited South Australia
state in Australia and Kansas State in the USA.
Training Program for Media Fellows
Realizing that groundwater is an inadequately
understood, invisible and disregarded water resource
in many respects, general and scientific awareness
raising shall play a key role in future groundwater
management. In order to support this media fellows
with strong interest in development and environmental
reporting are invited to participate in the course.
The program shall follow that of the junior fellows
described above but additionally some specific events
of particular relevance to them shall be organized.
The research program for the media fellows will be
devoted to the development of a couple of news
coverage, development of documentaries and specialized
reports on relevant topics related to groundwater in
their region of interest.
Resource Persons for the Program
Resource persons for the course and training/
crosscutting research components will be drawn both
from the region and from world-renowned international
institutions. The regional experts shall provide
country specific local knowledge; relevance and
applicability of theory and practice under specific
settings and international experts shall strengthen
the program through incorporation of state-of-the-art
knowledge on technology, practices and global best
practices on groundwater governance. Experiences from
the interesting case studies from the first phase
shall also be optimally utilized.
Cost of Course Participation
The cost of the course and training/ crosscutting
research will be covered by the Project, including
traveling (local/ international), course materials,
food and accommodation etc. In addition, a modest
per-diem shall also be provided to cover for
additional incidental expenses. However, it is
expected that the fellows will continue to retain
their association/ liaison with their respective
employers, and hence shall receive their normal salary
and allowances during the duration of the course. The
entire duration of the course may be treated as
deputation/ attachment to the Program.
Course language
The entire course and training components shall be
conducted in English.
Course Certificate and Post-Course Benefits
All successful participants shall be awarded an
international course certificate/ diploma in
partnership with lead participating organizations.
Participants will also have the opportunity to
publish/ co-author their outputs of the action
research in the form of international reports/ journal
articles/ popular articles/ case studies/ media
reports and course sponsored synthesis publications.
Equally, or more importantly, the participants will be
part of a continuing international and inter-regional
community/ society or partnership on groundwater
governance and management that will ensure continued
collaboration and knowledge sharing across various
institutional and geographic boundaries.
How to Apply?
The course participants shall be selected through a
suitably designed process aimed to provide fair
representation to the basin region countries,
professional disciplines/areas of interest, gender,
experience and potential benefits. In order to be
eligible for joining the course and training program,
A completedl application (in the prescribed format)
has to be submitted to IWMI. (For application forms:
Junior and Media Fellows or Senior Fellows)
In addition, for junior and media fellows, a written
formal nomination/ recommendation from a superior of
the organization for the total duration of the course
is required.
A well-drafted concept note, describing a research
topic of interest and relevance to the applicant and
how to address it within the training program should
be developed and submitted along with the application
form.
Senior Managers/ Fellows should submit with their
application a note stating the motivation/ valid
reasons for joining the training program and expected
benefits. Suggestions on the name of a developed
country to potentially visit for the action research
phase may also be indicated.

I have used SEEP/CTRAN to simulate sea water intrusion at some locations along
the eastern coast of Australia.
So it would be interesting to see your paper.
Could you send me a pdf?

Hi all,
I just need your bit of assistance. I am presently
working in US for over 4 years. I have M.S in Civil
Engineering with Water resources as specialization. I
am planning to move back to India for personal
reasons. My question can you guys give me a list of
companies in India who does water resources related
work. I have experience in water resources management,
design, modelling, land development, site planning. I
will really appreciate if somebody can help in this,
it will be a good start for my career search in India.
thanks,
Hrushikesh.

Dear Member,
I am pleased to inform that I have recently completed
the study "Modelling of a Coastal Aquifer using
FEFLOW". A brief introduction of the study is given
below.
Coastal tracts of Goa (India) are rapidly being
transformed into settlement areas. The poor water
supply facilities have encouraged people to have their
own source of water by digging or boring a well.
During the last decade, there have been large-scale
withdrawals of groundwater by builders, hotels and
other tourist establishments. Though the seawater
intrusion has not yet assumed serious magnitude, but
in the coming years it may turn to be a major problem
if corrective measures are not initiated at this
stage. It is necessary to understand how fresh and
salt water move under various realistic pumping and
recharge scenarios. Objectives of the study include
simulation of seawater intrusion in a part of the
coastal area in Bardez taluk of North Goa, evaluation
of the impact on seawater intrusion due to various
groundwater pumping scenarios and sensitivity analysis
to find the most sensitive parameters affecting the
simulation.
For the study, a finite-element model (FEFLOW) was
used for model simulations. The FEFLOW is an
interactive finite element simulation system (Version
5.1) for three-dimensional (3D) or two-dimensional
(2D), i.e. horizontal (aquifer-averaged), vertical or
axi-symmetric, transient or steady-state, fluid
density- coupled or linear, flow and mass, flow and
heat or completely coupled thermohaline transport
processes in subsurface water resources (groundwater
systems).
Salient conclusions of the study are given below.
(1) Presently, seawater intrusion in Bardez taluk of
North Goa is confined only upto 290 m from the coast
under normal rainfall conditions and present draft
pattern. It may slightly extend farther for low
rainfall years.
(2) Seawater intrusion may further advance inland if
withdrawals of groundwater by builders, hotels and
other tourist establishments continue to increase in
the coming years.
(3) Groundwater salinity needs to be continuously
monitored near the coastal area, especially within 2
km from the coast.
(4) Corrective measures with proper planning and
management of groundwater resources in the area need
to be initiated so that it may not turn to be a major
water quality problem in the coming times.
(5) The model is very sensitive to hydraulic
conductivity and dispersivity values. Field and
laboratory investigations need to be undertaken for
measurement of these parameters for use in further
modelling studies.
(6) The study will guide in making management
decisions to monitor and control seawater intrusion
and planning of groundwater development in the area.
I can send the complete report (in pdf format) by
e-mail to the interested persons. Your comments or
suggestions are welcome.

Kumar

Dear All...Hi !!
(1)How the clay lenses which are not extended through out the study
area be feeded in to MODFLOW software.
(2)How to add Draft through pumpage (20000 pumping wells)? The total
draft is of the order of 500 million cubic metre.
(3) Suggest literature pertaining to Modeling in Alluvial aquifers?
