Water Resources Management in the Ganges Basin : A Comparison of Three Strategies for Conjunctive Use of Groundwater and Surface Water

Water Resources Management in the Ganges Basin : A Comparison of Three Strategies for Conjunctive Use of Groundwater and Surface Water

The most difficult water resources management challenge in the Ganges Basin is the imbalance between water demand and seasonal availability. More than 80 % of the annual flow in the Ganges River occurs during the 4-month monsoon, resulting in widespread flooding. During the rest of the year, irrigat...
