| Abstract: | Continued population growth and uneven distribution of
water resources have forced the hydrologists and decision makers to search
forcontinuous and sustainable sources of water supply. In India, as the
surface water sources are becoming more and more inadequate and unsafe due to
contamination, the decision makers are looking towards the ground water as a
sustainable source of drinking water. Radial collector well can be used as a
sustainable source of water supply provided other conditions are favourable. In
this study, a radial collector well installed near
river Yamuna in Mewat district of Haryana to provide
safe and adequate drinking water has been discussed. In Mewat district, there
is no surface source for drinking water supply. The ground water is mostly
brackish in nature and is not fit for drinking. Water of river Yamuna is highly
polluted. The water from the river cannot be supplied directly for domestic
purposes. In radial collector well, the polluted water is filtered by the
natural filtration process. Since the source of raw water is river, hence it is
a continuous source. Further, as the water is treated
through natural filtration process, the cost of
treatment is low. Thus, radial collector well is a continuous and sustainable
source of water supply. As these are effective and sustainable sources of water
supply, such radial collector wells are being constructed in many parts of the
country. In this study, radial collector well is advocated as an alternate,
continuous and sustainable source of water supply for Mewat district of
Haryana. |
