Rural water management
3 important questions on Rural water management
What are the 5 problems related to groundwater and by what 3 factos are they caused?
Problems:
1. Falling water tables
2. Floodings
3. Water And soil pollution
4. Quality deterioration
5. Land subsidence (Land sinks over the year)
Causes:
1. Too much use for households, industry & agriculture
2. Disturbed rural and urban water balance
3. Climate (change)

Which basic 6 data should be gathered to determine soutions of the groundwater system?
- Hydrological situation
- Geology
- Geomorphology
- Rainfall pattern (historical data)
- Water bodies (drainage, tanks, wells, etc)
- Status of groundwater development
Which two main types of measures for groundwater solutions exist and?
1. Supply measures:
Measures to improve the supply of water to the groundwater.
-It can be performed by capturing water from rainfall and runoff and store in the soil or the the recharge (sent it to the aquifer).
- Water retention measures (e.g. Ponds)
- Protecting natural recharge (e.g. Prevent or mitigate anthropogenic runoff of pavements)
2. Demand measures
Measures that reduce the demand for groundwater, and/or more efficient use of water.
